Journal ArticleDOI

Genome expansion and gene loss in powdery mildew fungi reveal tradeoffs in extreme parasitism

TL;DR: A group of papers analyzes pathogen genomes to find the roots of virulence, opportunism, and life-style determinants in plant pathogens, suggesting that most effectors represent species-specific adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI

NLR functions in plant and animal immune systems: so far and yet so close

TL;DR: This work discusses recent insights into NLR activation, signal initiation through the homotypic association of N-terminal domains and subcellular receptor dynamics in plants and compares those with NLR functions in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution and Conservation of Plant NLR Functions

TL;DR: This review discusses plant NLR evolution and summarizes recent insights into plantNLR-signaling mechanisms, which might constitute evolutionarily conserved NLR-mediated immune mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-function analysis of barley NLR immune receptor MLA10 reveals its cell compartment specific activity in cell death and disease resistance.

TL;DR: Data showing an essential and sufficient nuclear MLA10 activity in disease resistance and cell death signaling in barley and Nicotiana benthamiana suggests a bifurcation of MLA10-triggered cell death and disease resistance signaling in a compartment-dependent manner.
