Of the membrane-localized RLKs which were switched on during infection initiation at flowering, Clavata1 receptor kinase (CLV1), Brassinosteroid insensitive 1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1), and Wall-associated kinase 1 (WAK1) (Haile et al., 2017) were found induced in the hard-green berry as well during quiescent infection. The gene discussed is BAK1; the disease is infection.
