In a complex natural environment, plants have evolved intricate and subtle defense
response regulatory mechanisms for survival. Plant specific defenses, including the disease …

Almost 48 years after the gene-for-gene interaction model was proposed by Flor, NBS-LRR
resistance (R) genes are still the focus of intense research interest. Also called NB-LRR, NB …

The NBS-LRR proteins are encoded by one of the largest and most important gene family
involved in disease resistance in plants. Many of these NBS-LRR proteins recognize …

Highly polymorphic plant genes (R genes) that control specific disease resistance [l'],
encode proteins in several classes, some of which bear the hallmarks of innate immunity …

Pathogens attack plants in attempts to assimilate nutrients from them. These pathogens
include bacteria, viruses, nematodes, fungi, and oomycetes. All current plant species have …

Plant disease resistance can be triggered by specific recognition of microbial effectors by
plant nucleotide binding-leucine rich repeat (NB-LRR) receptors. Over the last few years …

A highly evolved surveillance system in plants is able to detect a broad range of signals
originating from pathogens, damaged tissues, or altered developmental processes, initiating …

The majority of plant disease resistance genes are members of very large multigene
families. They encode structurally related proteins containing nucleotide binding site …

Pathogen infection in plants is often limited by a multifaceted defense response triggered by
resistance genes. The most prevalent class of resistance proteins includes those that …

ABSTRACT Nucleotide-Binding Site-Leucine-Rich Repeat (NBS-LRR) genes are the largest
plant disease resistance (R) gene family, accounting for∼ 80% of more than 140 cloned R …
