Lost and found: Reconstituting PRR immune function through co-receptor transfer
Plant immune receptors hold great promise for engineering broad-spectrum disease resistance,
but their effectiveness is very limited by restricted taxonomic functionality (RTF).

The glutamate receptor‐like GLR2.7 modulates insect egg‐induced defense responses in Arabidopsis
Upon perception of insect eggs, Arabidopsis thaliana activates a generic immune response that culminates in cell death (hypersensitive-like response (HR-like)). While this response can subsequently .....
