Characterizing Arabidopsis FLS2 protein interactions using a split luciferase complementation assay

FLS2 is receptor-like kinase that recognizes the bacterial protein flagellin. While this protein is important to plant immunity, little is known about signaling pathway downstream of FLS2. Using data from previous in vitro experiments, this project focuses on finding specific protein interactors of FLS2 and viewing their interactions in vivo using a split luciferase complentation assay.
