This study identifies Tie1, a fungal effector that targets OsTLP7 to suppress plant immunity by altering its localization and transcriptional activity.

This study identifies a novel wheat immune receptor pair, R3NLR and R3AK, where R3AK executes cell death through its 4-helical bundle domain, revealing a non-canonical NLR/MLKL resistance mechanism.

This paper designs de novo integrated domains using AI tools to enable plant NLR receptors to recognize non-cognate pathogen effectors, demonstrating functional immune responses and structural fidelity.

This study engineers a barley NLR receptor to enhance resistance against rice and wheat blast pathogens by improving its interaction with effector molecules.

The paper identifies a functionally diverse family of Zinc-finger fold effectors in Magnaporthe oryzae, showing functional specialization across host species.
