In plant innate immunity, individual cells have the capacity to sense and respond to
pathogen attack. Intracellular recognition mechanisms have evolved to intercept …

Plants have developed effective mechanisms to recognize and respond to infections caused
by pathogens. Plant resistance gene analogs (RGAs), as resistance (R) gene candidates …

Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular leucine rich-repeat domain (LRR) immune
receptors to detect pathogens. LRR receptor kinases and LRR receptor proteins at the …

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 …

Background Transposable elements are major evolutionary forces which can cause new
genome structure and species diversification. The role of transposable elements in the …

Despite hundreds of sequenced Arabidopsis genomes, very little is known about the degree
of genomic collinearity within single species, due to the low number of chromosome-level …

Nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes make up the largest plant
disease resistance gene family (R genes), with hundreds of copies occurring in individual …

Post-polyploid diploidization associated with descending dysploidy and interspecific
introgression drives plant genome evolution by unclear mechanisms. Raphanus is an …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) monitor the plant intracellular
environment for signs of pathogen infection. Several mechanisms of NLR-mediated …

Seagrasses colonized the sea on at least three independent occasions to form the basis of
one of the most productive and widespread coastal ecosystems on the planet. Here we …
