Abstract: The programmed plant cell death is extensively involved in plant growth and stress resistance. Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) play important roles in cell-death control. Under stresses， plant cells are able to perceive signals from extracellular environment through RLKs， and transmit downstream signaling factors to regulate the expression of related genes， causing a series of physiological and biochemical reactions that lead to cell death. BAK1 is crucial in plant cell death as an RLK. BAK1 interacts with the RLKs such as BRI1， FLS2， BIR1， EFR and BIK1 to sense extracellular signals and regulate cell death. Here we focused on the role of BAK1 and summarized the mechanisms of BAK1-interacting RLK complex-mediated cell death signal transduction and proposed scientific questions that need further study.
