TL;DR: Al-induced organ-specific expression of a WAK1 (cell wall-associated receptor kinase 1) gene and cell type-specific localization of WAK proteins in Arabidopsis are reported and transgenic plants overexpressing Wak1 showed an enhanced Al tolerance in terms of root growth when compared with the wild-type plants, making the WAK 1 one of the important candidates for plant defense against Al toxicity.
Antisense Expression of a Cell Wall–Associated Protein Kinase, WAK4, Inhibits Cell Elongation and Alters Morphology
TL;DR: The results suggest that the WAKs serve a vital role in cell elongation and are required for plant development.
Tissue-Specific and Developmentally Regulated Expression of a Cluster of Tandemly Arrayed Cell Wall-Associated Kinase-Like Kinase Genes in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: The characterization of group 2 members that are composed of a cluster of seven tandemly arrayed WAKL genes is described, suggesting that they, like some WAK members, are wound inducible and can be defined as pathogenesis-related genes.

Involvement of a Cell Wall-Associated Kinase, WAKL4, in Arabidopsis Mineral Responses
TL;DR: A functional role for the WAKL4 gene in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mineral responses is reported and versatile roles for WAK/WAKL members play a role in cell elongation and plant development are suggested.

Role of root UV-B sensing in Arabidopsis early seedling development.
TL;DR: The identification of an Arabidopsis mutant, root UVB sensitive 1 (rus1), whose primary root is hypersensitive to very low-fluence-rate (VLF) UVB, demonstrates a root VLF UVB-sensing mechanism that is involved inArabidopsis early seedling morphogenesis and development.
