Article Synopsis
- Plant pathogens significantly reduce crop yields, but plants have developed a strong immune system that uses specific receptors called NLRs to detect and respond to these threats.
- * The study focuses on how a sensor NLR named Rpi-amr3 from Solanum americanum recognizes a pathogen effector from Phytophthora infestans and activates helper NLRs NRC2 and NRC4, leading to the formation of large immune complexes called resistosomes.
- * Understanding the function of these resistosomes and how they are formed can help scientists design and engineer crops that are more resistant to diseases.
