In recent years, an increasing amount of genetic and genomic studies have shown that receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and their derivative proteins—receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) and receptor-like proteins (RLPs)—play important roles in the development and growth of plants and their responses to adverse environments. This paper (1) reviews briefly the main general findings in the research into plant RLKs and derivative proteins, and (2) discusses in more detail the achievements, limitations and prospects in studies of wheat RLK, RLCK and RLP proteins. The information will be useful for further investigations of the structure and function of RLKs and derivative proteins in wheat.
