    Substrate-induced condensation activates plant TIR domain proteins

    Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors with an N-terminal Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain mediate recognition of strain-specific pathogen effectors, typically via their C-...

    The receptor kinase SRF3 coordinates iron-level and flagellin dependent defense and growth responses in plants

    Iron is critical for host–pathogen interactions. While pathogens seek to scavenge iron to spread, the host aims at decreasing iron availability to reduce pathogen virulence. Thus, iron sensing and homeostasis ...

    The EDS1–PAD4–ADR1 node mediates Arabidopsis pattern-triggered immunity

    Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular leucine rich-repeat domain (LRR) immune receptors to detect pathogens1. LRR receptor kinases and LRR receptor proteins at the plasma membrane recognize microorganism-d...

    Pathogen effector recognition-dependent association of NRG1 with EDS1 and SAG101 in TNL receptor immunity

    Plants utilise intracellular nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors to detect pathogen effectors and activate local and systemic defence. NRG1 and ADR1 “helper” NLRs (RNLs) cooperate wi...

    Genetic strategies for improving crop yields

    The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world’s population by 20501. Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of climatic stress that limits yi...

    An EDS1 heterodimer signalling surface enforces timely reprogramming of immunity genes in Arabidopsis

    Plant intracellular NLR receptors recognise pathogen interference to trigger immunity but how NLRs signal is not known. Enhanced disease susceptibility1 (EDS1) heterodimers are recruited by Toll-interleukin1-r...
