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 …

The innate immune system detects pathogens via germline-encoded receptors that bind to
conserved pathogen ligands called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Here …

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

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

BACKGROUND Microbial interactions have shaped plant diversity in terrestrial ecosystems.
By forming mutually beneficial symbioses, microbes helped plants colonize land more than …

Crop breeding for resistance to pathogens largely relies on genes encoding receptors that
confer race-specific immunity. Here, we report the identification of the wheat Pm4 race …

This article is part of the Top 10 Unanswered Questions in MPMI invited review series.
Plants recognize the presence or invasion of microbes through cell surface-localized pattern …

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

Nucleotide‐binding domain leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors are important
components of plant and metazoan innate immunity that can function as individual units or …

Phytophthora capsici is a destructive oomycete pathogen of vegetable, ornamental, and
tropical crops. First described by LH Leonian in 1922 as a pathogen of pepper in New …
