[3] Feronia (FER) has a taxonomic lineage as follows: Eukaryota > Viridiplantae > Streptophyta > Embryophyta > Tracheophyta > Spermatophyta > Magnoliophyta > Eudicotyledons > Gunneridae > Pentapetalae > Rosids > Malvids > Brassicales > Brassicaceae > Camelineae > Arabidopsis.
[3] Arabidopsis thaliana is a weed commonly found alongside roads and is frequently used in experiments which examine plant genetics or biology.
The Site-1 Protease (S1P) found in Arabidopsis plays a role in inhibiting plant immunity when it cleaves the Rapid alkalization factor (RALF).
The feronia (FER) mutant female gametophyte was tested in this process and found that it inhibited the rupture of the sperm cells and invaded the embryo sac.
Feronia (FER) is a Arabidopsis malectin-like receptor kinase for binding to the Rapid Alkalinization Factor (RALF) which has been discovered to be linked to the plasma membrane H+-ATPase.
FER could occupy parts of the microdomains found in the plasma membrane and perform with both the receptors and coreceptors to create signaling platforms.
