Plant NLR genes encode sensitive immune receptors that can mediate the specific
recognition of pathogen avirulence effectors and activate a strong defence response, termed …

Alternative splicing (AS) occurs widely in plants and can provide the main source of
transcriptome and proteome diversity in an organism. AS functions in a range of …

Crop breeding for resistance to pathogens largely relies on genes encoding receptors that
confer race-specific immunity. Here, we report the identification of the wheat Pm4 race …

As sessile organisms, plants are continuously exposed to a wide range of biotic interactions.
While some biotic interactions are beneficial or even essential for the plant (eg rhizobia and …

Plants are in a constant evolutionary arms race with their pathogens. At the molecular level,
the plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) family has coevolved with …

The regulatory roles of RNA splicing in plant immunity are emerging but still largely obscure.
We reported previously that Phytophthora pathogen effector Avr3c targets a soybean protein …

Background Bean anthracnose is caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum
(Sacc. & Magnus) Lams.-Scrib. Resistance to C. lindemuthianum in common bean …

Alternative splicing (AS) enhances the diversities of both transcripts and proteins in
eukaryotes, which contribute to stress adaptation. To catalog wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) …

The nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins comprise a major class of
intracellular immune receptors that are capable of detecting pathogen-derived molecules …

Alternative splicing (AS) is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process in eukaryotes in
which multiple messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts are produced from a single gene. The …
