Evolution and conservation of plant NLR functions

Evolution and conservation of plant NLR functions

In plants and animals, nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeats (NLR)–containing proteins play pivotal roles in innate immunity. Despite their similar biological functions and protein architecture, comparative genome-wide analyses of NLRs and genes encoding NLR-like proteins suggest that p...
