The paper generates new alleles of BIK1 and PBL1 using CRISPR-Cas9 and shows their central role in pattern-triggered immunity, while highlighting pleiotropic effects of T-DNA insertions.

The paper identifies small molecule binding to EDS1 and PAD4 as critical for LRR-RP-mediated PTI, with distinct roles in early and late immune responses.

This study identifies MtSOBIR1 as an interactor of MtNFP in Medicago truncatula, showing it has dual roles in immunity and symbiosis with Rhizobium.

The paper analyzes natural variation in immune epitopes across bacterial genomes to reveal a mechanism of intrabacterial immune evasion.
