This study identifies NRG1 as a plant NLR receptor that targets chloroplasts to trigger immunity by channeling stromal calcium into the cytosol, revealing a novel mechanism for organelle-specific immune signaling.

View Tomo improves cryoET by enabling 3D analysis and targeting through low-dose, rapid tomogram acquisition and automated processing.

The study identifies a hydrophobic core in the coiled-coil domain of NRCs that is essential for their function in immunity.

This study identifies two phospholipases, LCAT3 and LCAT4, that work together to hydrolyze autophagic bodies in plant cells, completing the autophagy pathway.

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.

The paper uses AF2-multimer to accurately predict both canonical and atypical ATG8 binding motifs in proteins, including those in pathogens and plant hosts.
