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

Tea is an economically important plant characterized by a large genome, high
heterozygosity, and high species diversity. In this study, we assemble a 3.26-Gb high-quality …

Crop diseases reduce wheat yields by~ 25% globally and thus pose a major threat to global
food security. Genetic resistance can reduce crop losses in the field and can be selected …

Cell-surface-localized plant immune receptors, such as FLS2, detect pathogen-associated
molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiate PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) through poorly …

The Arabidopsis genome contains∼ 200 genes that encode proteins with similarity to the
nucleotide binding site and other domains characteristic of plant resistance proteins …

Innate immunity constitutes the first line of defense against attempted microbial invasion,
and it is a well‐described phenomenon in vertebrates and insects. Recent pioneering work …

The majority of disease resistance genes in plants encode nucleotide-binding site leucine-
rich repeat (NBS-LRR) proteins. This large family is encoded by hundreds of diverse genes …

More than 50 years ago, Harold Flor, working with flax and the flax rust fungus, defined plant–
pathogen interactions genetically, producing the gene-for-gene hypothesis1. This classic …

The hypersensitive response (HR) of plants resistant to microbial pathogens involves a
complex form of programmed cell death (PCD) that differs from developmental PCD in its …
