This study shows how the helper NLR NRC2 converts from a homodimer to a higher-order oligomer upon activation by the sensor NLR Rx, revealing the molecular mechanism of plant immune activation.

This study identifies Rab3GAPL as a regulator of plant autophagy and immunity by modulating Rab8a and ATG8 interactions.

A helper NLR is mutated to evade inhibition by a parasite effector, restoring disease resistance gene activity.

The paper shows that activation of plant NLRs Rx and Bs2 leads to oligomerization of the helper NLR NRC2, suggesting a distinct activation model compared to mammalian paired NLRs.

This study identifies chloroplast-extrahaustorial membrane contact sites that regulate callose deposition during plant immune responses to pathogens.
