Both plants and animals contain nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NB-
LRR)-type immune receptors that function during defense against pathogens. Unlike animal …

Nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) are intracellular plant immune
receptors that recognize pathogen effectors secreted into the plant cell. Canonical NLRs …

Gene clustering is rare in eukaryotes. However, nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat
(NLR)-encoding disease resistance (R) genes show consistent clustering in plant genomes …

Plants have developed a complex defense system against diverse pests and pathogens.
Once pathogens overcome mechanical barriers to infection, plant receptors initiate signaling …

Plants have evolved a sophisticated innate immune system to defend against pathogen
infection, and intracellular nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR or NB-LRR) immune …

The first plant disease resistance (R) genes were identified and cloned more than two
decades ago. Since then, many more R genes have been identified and characterized in …

Engineering the plant immune system offers genetic solutions to mitigate crop diseases
caused by diverse agriculturally significant pathogens and pests. Modification of intracellular …

Despite being sessile organisms constantly exposed to potential pathogens and pests,
plants are surprisingly resilient to infections. Plants can detect invaders via the recognition of …

An important branch of plant immunity involves the recognition of pathogens by nucleotide-
binding, leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) proteins. However, signaling events downstream of …

The plant immune system is fundamental for plant survival in natural ecosystems and for
productivity in crop fields. Substantial evidence supports the prevailing notion that plants …
