Therefore, plants require sophisticated surveillance systems to detect potentially life-threatening events by recognizing danger signals. Indeed, plants have evolved a large number of receptor kinases, most of which are likely involved in the response to different stresses. These receptors recognize not only exogenous, enemy-derived molecules (i.e., MAMP and HAMP) but also endogenous molecules from own damaged cells and tissues as danger signals, referred to as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Plants sense\u00a0those molecular patterns\u00a0to evoke immune responses and damage healing. Our research focuses on the function of DAMP signals for in-depth understanding of plant defense mechanisms against pathogen and insect attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n Tanaka lab –<\/span>\u00a0<\/em>Home<\/span> <\/a>| Research <\/a><\/span>| Publications<\/span> <\/a>| Personnel<\/span> <\/a>| Opportunities<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Lab News Home<\/a> | Research |\u00a0<\/strong>Publications<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>|\u00a0<\/strong>Personnel <\/a>| Opportunities<\/a> |\u00a0<\/strong>Lab News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Tanaka Lab – Research<\/strong><\/p>\n Plants are continuously exposed to various stresses caused by changes in the environment and attacks by other organisms, i.e., abiotic and biotic stresses.
