The Somatic Embryogenesis Receptor Kinase 3 (SERK3)/Brassinosteroid (BR) Insensitive 1-Associated Kinase 1 (BAK1) is required for pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in  Arabidopsis thaliana  and  Nicotiana benthamiana . Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) has three  Sl SERK members. Two of them exhibit particularly high levels of sequence similarity to  At SERK3 and, therefore, were named  Sl SERK3A and  Sl SERK3B. To characterize a role for  SlSERK3A  and  SlSERK3B  in defense, we suppressed each gene individually or co-silenced both using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in the tomato cv. Moneymaker. Co-silencing  SlSERK3A  and  SlSERK3B  resulted in spontaneous necrotic lesions and reduced sensitivity to exogenous BR treatment. Silencing either  SlSERK3A  or  SlSERK3B  resulted in enhanced susceptibility to root knot-nematode and to non-pathogenic  Pseudomonas syringae  pv.  tomato (Pst)  DC3000  hrcC  indicating that both  SlSERK3 s are positive regulators of defense. Interestingly, silencing  SlSERK3B , but not  SlSERK3A , resulted in enhanced susceptibility to the pathogenic strain  Pst  DC3000 indicating distinct roles for these two  SlSERK3  paralogs.  Sl SERK3A and  Sl SERK3B are active kinases, localized to the plasma membrane, and interact  in vivo  with the Flagellin Sensing 2 receptor in a flg22-dependent manner. Complementation of the  Atserk3/bak1-4  mutant with either  SlSERK3A  or  SlSERK3B  partially rescued the mutant phenotype. Thus,  SlSERK3A  and  SlSERK3B  are likely to constitute tomato orthologs of  BAK1 .
