MLKS2 is an ARM domain and F-actin-associated KASH protein that functions in stomatal complex development and meiotic chromosome segregation.

H. K. Gumber, J. F. McKenna, A. F. Tolmie, A. M. Jalovec, A. C. Kartick, K. Graumann, H. W. Bass

This paper identifies MLKS2 as a KASH protein involved in nuclear positioning and meiotic chromosome segregation in maize, with functional conservation in Arabidopsis.

Pattern-Triggered Immunity And Cell Wall Integrity Maintenance Jointly Modulate Plant Stress Responses

T. Engelsdorf, N. Gigli-Bisceglia, M. Veerabagu, J. F. McKenna, F. Augstein, D. van der Does, C. Zipfel, T. Hamann

This study investigates how cell wall integrity maintenance and pattern-triggered immunity interact in Arabidopsis thaliana to modulate stress responses, showing that PTI suppresses CWD-induced defenses.
