Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

Highlights•Plant NLR immune receptors are rapidly diversifying modular proteins.•There is a
vast diversity in NLR copy number and allelic variation across species.•NLRs are sensors of …

Background The plant immune system is innate and encoded in the germline. Using it
efficiently, plants are capable of recognizing a diverse range of rapidly evolving pathogens …

Although genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have provided valuable insights into
the decoding of the relationships between sequence variation and complex phenotypes …

NLR (NOD-like receptor) genes belong to one of the largest gene families in plants. Their
role in plants' resistance to pathogens has been clearly described for many members of this …

Key message Novel disease resistance gene paralogues are generated by targeted
chromosome cleavage of tandem duplicated NBS-LRR gene complexes and subsequent …

Reference genome sequences are the key to the discovery of genes and gene families that
determine traits of interest. Recent progress in sequencing technologies has enabled a …

Climate change is unleashing novel biotic antagonistic interactions for forest trees that may
jeopardize populations' persistence. Therefore, this review article envisions highlighting …

Background Most disease resistance (R) genes in plants encode proteins that contain
leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) and nucleotide-binding site (NBS) domains, which belong to the …

Background Melaleuca quinquenervia (broad-leaved paperbark) is a coastal wetland tree
species that serves as a foundation species in eastern Australia, Indonesia, Papua New …
