The paper shows that the rice NLR pair Pik-1 and Pik-2 forms a hetero-oligomeric complex at the plasma membrane in the resting state before effector activation.

This study functionally characterizes a tetra-modular LPMO from Enterobacter cloacae, revealing its chitin-cleaving activity and structural features involving copper coordination.

The paper identifies a root-specific NLR gene cluster in tomato that confers resistance to nematodes and evolved from an ancient NRC network.

The paper analyzes NLR evolution in lettuce and related species, finding that sensor NLRs evolve faster than helper NLRs and that sensor diversification is linked to helper dependency.

This study determines the structure of sensor-activated NbNRC2 using cryo-EM, revealing a hexameric resistosome and highlighting structural changes during NLR activation.
