The paper identifies ATR2Cala2 as an effector recognized by four TIR-NLR immune receptors in Arabidopsis and shows their quantitative requirement for resistance to Hpa-Cala2.

The paper identifies two regulatory modes in the Arabidopsis CHS3/CSA1 immune receptor pair, showing how an integrated domain (ID) in clade 1 CHS3 enables effector binding, while other clades rely on detecting effector-modified pattern recognition receptors.

The paper identifies an allele of WRR4A in Arabidopsis that confers resistance to a virulent isolate of Albugo candida but reduces resistance to other effectors.

The paper improves the genome assembly of Albugo candida Ac2V and identifies a 250% expansion in the CCG effector class.

The paper identifies effectors recognized by WRR4A and WRR4B NLR proteins in Arabidopsis, revealing their broad-spectrum resistance to multiple Albugo candida races.

The paper identifies NRG1.1 and ADR1 as plant immune receptors that function as calcium-permeable channels to induce cell death.

The paper develops a method to assess differential gene expression of selected genes during plant immune activation using sequence capture and RNA-seq.

The paper defines the Arabidopsis thaliana pan-NLRome by analyzing NLR diversity across 65 accessions, finding that 40 accessions saturate the NLRome and identifying architectural diversity and selective forces.
