Studies focused solely on single organisms can fail to identify the networks underlying host–
pathogen gene-for-gene interactions. Here, we integrate genetic analyses of rice (Oryza …

Arms race co‐evolution of plant–pathogen interactions evolved sophisticated recognition
mechanisms between host immune receptors and pathogen effectors. Different allelic …

Arms race co-evolution drives rapid adaptive changes in pathogens and in the immune
systems of their hosts. Plant intracellular NLR immune receptors detect effectors delivered …

Unconventional integrated domains in plant intracellular immune receptors of the nucleotide-
binding leucine-rich repeat (NLRs) type can directly bind translocated effector proteins from …

Microbial plant pathogens secrete effector proteins, which manipulate the host to promote
infection. Effectors can be recognized by plant intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich …

Accelerated gene evolution is a hallmark of pathogen adaptation and specialization
following host-jumps. However, the molecular processes associated with adaptive evolution …

Rice blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most
destructive diseases of rice worldwide. The rice–M. oryzae pathosystem has become a …

Accelerated adaptive evolution is a hallmark of plant–pathogen interactions. Plant
intracellular immune receptors (NLRs) often occur as allelic series with differential pathogen …

Understanding how fungi specialize on their plant host is crucial for developing sustainable
disease control. A traditional, centuries-old rice agro-system of the Yuanyang terraces was …

Higher yield potential and greater yield stability are common targets for crop breeding
programs, including those in rice. Despite these efforts, biotic and abiotic stresses continue …
