Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains more than 200 rapidly evolved resistance (R)-like genes coding for nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) and their related proteins. A dozen of them are shown to play key roles in plant responses to biotic attacks, and they need to be repressed in the absence of biotic stresses to prevent activation of defense responses that are usually detrimental to plant...
