Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

Plants have both cell-surface and intracellular receptors to recognize diverse self-and non-
self molecules. Cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize extracellular …

The plant immune system involves cell-surface receptors that detect intercellular pathogen-
derived molecules, and intracellular receptors that activate immunity upon detection of …

Plants have many, highly variable resistance (R) gene loci, which provide resistance to a
variety of pathogens. The first R gene to be cloned, maize (Zea mays) Hm1, was published …

Plants utilise intracellular nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors to
detect pathogen effectors and activate local and systemic defence. NRG1 and ADR1 …

The epigenome orchestrates genome accessibility, functionality, and three-dimensional
structure. Because epigenetic variation can impact transcription and thus phenotypes, it may …

Infectious disease is both a major force of selection in nature and a prime cause of yield loss
in agriculture. In plants, disease resistance is often conferred by nucleotide-binding leucine …

Plants have evolved an array of defenses against pathogens. However, mounting a defense
response frequently comes with the cost of a reduction in growth and reproduction, carrying …

Plant nucleotide-binding (NB) leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor (NLR) proteins function as
intracellular immune receptors that perceive the presence of pathogen-derived virulence …

Defense against pathogens in multicellular eukaryotes depends on intracellular immune
receptors, yet surveillance by these receptors is poorly understood. Several plant nucleotide …
