  • Nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat network underlies nonhost resistance of pepper against the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans

    8 days ago - By Wiley

    Summary
    Nonhost resistance is a robust plant immune response against non-adapted pathogens. A number of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat proteins that recognize non-adapted pathogens have been identified, although the underlying molecular mechanisms driving robustness of NHR are still unknown. Here, we screened 57 effectors of the potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans in nonhost pepper to identify avirulence effector candidates. Selected effectors were tested against 436 genome-wide cloned pepper NLRs, and we identified multiple functional NLRs that recognize P...
