If you have a question about this talk, please contact david baulcombe .

Diverse microbes cause plant disease, and plants have evolved a robust innate immune system that recognizes pathogen molecules and then activates defense. Immunity involves both cell surface receptors (usually transmembrane protein kinases) also intracellular NLR immune receptors, encoded byResistance® genes. Plant NLRs are modular proteins and usually carry an N-terminal signaling domain, followed by a nucleotide-binding domain and C-terminal LRRs. NLRs either directly recognize pathogen effector molecules, or recognize the effects of these effectors on host proteins. Plants show extensive within- and between-species diversity in their NLR -encoding repertoires, which we investigate using sequence capture methods, and polymorphism in population NLR repertoires is important for their efficacy.
