Plants coordinately use cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive
pathogens and mount an immune response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are …

Staying ahead of the arms race against rust and mildew diseases in cereal crops is essential
to maintain and preserve food security. The methodological challenges associated with …

Induced resistance (IR), which enables plants to increase their resilience against insect
pests and microbial pathogens by promoting their own immunity, has been recognized for its …

Factors including climate change and increased global exchange are set to escalate the
prevalence of plant diseases, posing an unprecedented threat to global food security and …

Along with the emergence of green plants on this planet one billion years ago, the
nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene family originated and diverged into at …

Two studies describe kinase fusion proteins (KFPs) that regulate the perception and
deception of wheat pathogens. These highlight the emergence of KFPs as plant immune …

Engineering the plant immune system offers genetic solutions to mitigate crop diseases
caused by diverse agriculturally significant pathogens and pests. Modification of intracellular …

Studies focused solely on single organisms can fail to identify the networks underlying host–
pathogen gene-for-gene interactions. Here, we integrate genetic analyses of rice (Oryza …

Angiosperms represent most plants that humans cultivate, grow, and eat. However,
angiosperms are only one of five major land plant lineages. As a whole lineage, plants also …

Plants' complex immune systems include nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-
containing (NLR) proteins, which help recognize invading pathogens. In solanaceous …
