Busted: maternal modifiers of the triploid block involved in seed size control.

This paper identifies maternal modifiers in Arabidopsis that influence the triploid block, leading to viable large seeds in interploidy crosses.

ATR2Cala2 from Arabidopsis-infecting downy mildew requires 4 TIR-NLR immune receptors for full recognition

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.

Inducible TRAP RNA profiling reveals host genes expressed in Arabidopsis cells haustoriated by downy mildew

The paper develops a method to profile RNA specifically from Arabidopsis cells infected by downy mildew, identifying host genes involved in susceptibility or resistance.

The integrated LIM-peptidase domain of the CSA1/CHS3 paired immune receptor detects changes in DA1 family peptidase inhibitors to confer Albugo candida resistance in Arabidopsis.

The paper shows that the DAR4 ID in the CSA1/CHS3 receptor detects reduced DAR3 levels caused by Albugo candida, triggering defense mechanisms in Arabidopsis.

Allelic variation in the Arabidopsis TNL CHS3/CSA1 immune receptor pair reveals two functional regulatory modes

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 TIR-NBS-LRR protein CSA1 is required for autoimmune cell death in Arabidopsis pattern recognition co-receptor bak1 and bir3 mutants

The paper identifies CSA1 as a TIR-NBS-LRR protein required for autoimmune cell death in Arabidopsis when BAK1 and BIR3 are mutated, linking BAK1 to NLR proteins in immune responses.

Evolutionary trade-offs at the Arabidopsis WRR4A resistance locus underpin alternate Albugo candida recognition specificities

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.

An improved assembly of the Albugo candida Ac2V genome reveals the expansion of the "CCG" class of effectors

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

The Arabidopsis WRR4A and WRR4B paralogous NLR proteins both confer recognition of multiple Albugo candida effectors

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

The Arabidopsis thaliana pan-NLRome

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.
