NLRs constitute intracellular immune receptors in both plants and animals. Direct or indirect ligand recognition results in formation of oligomeric NLR complexes to mediate immune signaling. Over the past 20 years, ra...
Unlike vertebrates that have the circulating immune system, plants have evolved an efficient innate immune system to defend against invading pathogens.At cellular level,the plant innate immunity primarily relies on pl...
