Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) are intracellular immune
receptors that are activated by their direct or indirect interactions with virulence effectors …

Intrinsic postzygotic isolation typically appears as reduced viability or fertility of interspecific
hybrids caused by genetic incompatibilities between diverged parental genomes …

Hybrid sterility restricts the utilization of superior heterosis of indica-japonica inter-
subspecific hybrids. In this study, we report the identification of RHS12, a major locus …

Nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) play important roles in the
innate immune systems of both plants and animals. Recent breakthroughs in NLR …

Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

Although originally primarily a system for functional biology, Arabidopsis thaliana has, owing
to its broad geographical distribution and adaptation to diverse environments, developed …

Although long-read sequencing can often enable chromosome-level reconstruction of
genomes, it is still unclear how one can routinely obtain gapless assemblies. In the model …

Genes involved in disease resistance are some of the fastest evolving and most diverse
components of genomes. Large numbers of nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) …

The plant immune system is well equipped to ward off the attacks of different types of
phytopathogens. It primarily relies on two types of immune sensors—plasma membrane …

Both plants and animals utilize nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat immune receptors
(NLRs) to perceive the presence of pathogen-derived molecules and induce immune …
