Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

Plants have many, highly variable resistance (R) gene loci, which provide resistance to a
variety of pathogens. The first R gene to be cloned, maize (Zea mays) Hm1, was published …

The genus Oryza is a model system for the study of molecular evolution over time scales
ranging from a few thousand to 15 million years. Using 13 reference genomes spanning the …

Plants have evolved multiple defense strategies to cope with pathogens, among which plant
immune signaling that relies on cell‐surface localized and intracellular receptors takes …

While prokaryotic pan-genomes have been shown to contain many more genes than any
individual organism, the prevalence and functional significance of differentially present …

Plant pathogens cause recurrent epidemics, threatening crop yield and global food security.
Efforts to retool the plant immune system have been limited to modifying natural components …

Plants coordinately use cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive
pathogens and mount an immune response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are …

Rice is a global food grain crop for more than one-third of the human population and a
source for food and nutritional security. Rice production is subjected to various stresses; …

Plant immunity is often triggered by the specific recognition of pathogen effectors by
intracellular nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLR). Plant NLRs contain an …

Resistance (R) proteins recognize pathogen avirulence (Avr) proteins by direct or indirect
binding and are multidomain proteins generally carrying a nucleotide binding (NB) and a …
