As sessile, plants are inevitably exposed to environmental threats including pathogens. Due to the lack of mobile immune cells, plants solely depend on the innate immune system to defend against pathogens. The first layer of pathogen detection in plant immunity is to recognize microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) that compose structural or functional units in microbial pathogens. For this, plants utilize pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). Continuous attack by pathogens resulting from immotility likely contributes to the extension of PRR numbers in plants, although genomeencoded. Recent findings revealed that plant PRRs as a complex dynamically switch between inactive and active forms at the plasma membrane depending on a cognate MAMP. In addition, by regulating the activity and stability of a downstream signal-relaying receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK), plants can control the immune homeostasis. Therefore, we in this review discuss on how plants detect a pathogen and how they control immune responses at the level of PRRs in a correct and delicate way. We additionally provide a possible balancing mechanism between growth and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants, which is required for survival in nature.
