Parasite effectors target helper NLRs in plants to suppress immunity-related cell death

Parasites target the plant immune system for successful colonization. A new study in PLOS Biology reveals that unrelated parasites have evolved effectors that specifically suppress the function of helper nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeats (NLRs), explaining the complex plant–parasite coevolutio...

Sumario:Parasites target the plant immune system for successful colonization. A new study in PLOS Biology reveals that unrelated parasites have evolved effectors that specifically suppress the function of helper nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeats (NLRs), explaining the complex plant–parasite coevolutionary dynamics.
