Interfamily co-transfer of sensor and helper NLRs extends immune receptor functionality between angiosperms
Plant nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors recognize pathogen effectors and activate defense. NLR genes can be non-functional in distantly related plants (restricted taxonomi...
