Ancient pangenomic origins of noncanonical NLR genes underlying the recent evolutionary rescue of a staple crop

Carl J. VanGessel, Terry J. Felderhoff, Daniil M. Prigozhin…·Geoffrey P. Morris

The paper identifies the pangenomic origins and molecular basis of RMES1, a noncanonical NLR gene that enabled evolutionary rescue in sorghum by disrupting aphid feeding through global immunity activation.

Globally-deployed sorghum aphid resistance gene RMES1 is vulnerable to biotype shifts but being bolstered by RMES2

Carl J. VanGessel, Brian R. Rice, Terry J. Felderhoff…·Geoffrey P. Morris

The paper assesses the vulnerability of the sorghum aphid resistance gene RMES1 to biotype shifts and finds it is bolstered by the presence of RMES2 and cyanogenesis.
