The paper reporting the bacterial ligand of Xa21 was retracted and is currently under re-investigation. I made some edits to reflect that in 'Plant PRRs'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.155.221.31 (talk) 22:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added a lot of detail about the serine cascade. Hopefully not too much for the scope of the article. Sjodenenator (talk) 04:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To avoid getting into an edit war, I'd like to ask for the view of other editors on the subject of PAMPs. It seems that one editor opposes the use of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (or PAMPs) in this article (and in the Toll-like receptor page) and wishes to replace this expression with microbial-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). My view is that the PAMPs term is widely used in existing literature and is currently the accepted terminology for ligands of TLRs, so it should not be completely removed from this page or the TLR page. At the moment there is little reference to MAMPs, (in fact I did find 2 very recent articles referring to these,^[1][2] but no other references) so to avoid confusion, I agree this term could be introduced here, but not at the complete exclusion of PAMPs. Could other people please leave their comments on this? Ciar 03:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
