TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a mitogen-activated kinase kinase, dual specific protein kinase that is expressed in vegetative tissues and floral buds. Involved in innate immunity. This protein activates MPK3/MPK6 and early-defense genes redundantly with MKK4. In plants with both MKK5 and MKK4 levels reduced by RNAi plants, floral organs do not abscise suggesting a role for both proteins in mediating floral organ abscission.MKK5 is part of a positive feedback loop that regulates HAE expression in floral receptacles. |
