Monocots were believed to be insensitive to flg22. In this paper, the authors clone the rice FLS2 orthologue and show that flg22 is indeed recognised by rice in a FLS2-dependent manner.

The authors characterise flagellin responses in N. benthamiana and show that silencing of NbFLS2 expression leads to enhanced susceptibility to a range of adapted and non-adapted bacteria. They also show that the effectors AvrPto and AvrPtoB from Pto DC3000 suppress PAMP responses in this plant.

Pseudomonas syringae effector AvrPtoB suppresses basal defence in Arabidopsis. Plant J 47 (2006) 368-382. The authors show that the expression of the effector avrPtoB allows more growth of the non-adapted bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola. More importantly, they show that this effect is enhanced in plants lacking FLS2, demonstrating the role of flagellin perception in the resistance against this bacterium.

49. ••] this paper shows that BAK1, a LRR-RK previously known as a BRI1-interactor in brassinosteroid signalling, interacts rapidly with FLS2 in a flg22-dependent manner to control flg22 responses. BAK1 is also required for responses to other PAMPs.

This paper shows that the bacterial effectors AvrPto and AvrPtoB interact with BAK1. AvrPto disrupts the formation of the BAK1-FLS2 complex to achieve virulence.

Sequential transphosphorylation of the BRI1/BAK1 receptor kinase complex impacts early events in brassinosteroid signaling. Dev Cell 15 (2008) 220-235. This paper shows that in the BRI1-BAK system activated BRI1 trans-phosphorylates BAK1, which in turn trans-phosphorylates BRI1 back to enhance its activity. This suggests that BAK1 acts as a signalling enhancer for BRI1.
