Zones of Defense? SA Receptors Have it Under Control
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefThe constant evolutionary arms race with pathogens has equipped plants with a layered immune system. As the first line of defense, membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors perceive microbe-associated molecular patterns and activate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). In parallel, R proteins –…
