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 …

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), microbe-associated molecular patterns
(MAMPs), herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs), and damage-associated …

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 …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) play crucial roles in plant
immunity, growth, and development. Plants deploy a large number of RLKs and RLPs as …

Plant diseases are responsible for substantial crop losses each year and pose a threat to
global food security and agricultural sustainability. Improving crop resistance to pathogens …

Plants solely rely on innate immunity of each individual cell to deal with a diversity of
microbes in the environment. Extracellular recognition of microbe‐and host damage …

Plants are constantly exposed to would-be pathogens in their immediate environment. Yet,
despite relying on innate immunity only, plants are resistant to most microbes. They employ …

Cell-surface receptors play pivotal roles in many biological processes, including immunity,
development, and reproduction, across diverse organisms. How cell-surface receptors …

Plants are constantly exposed to would-be pathogens and pests, and thus have a
sophisticated immune system to ward off these threats, which otherwise can have …
