Abstract excerpt
Plant resistance (R) proteins mediate race-specific immunity and initiate host defenses that are often accompanied by a localized cell-death response. Most R proteins belong to the nucleotide binding-leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) protein family, as they carry a central NB-ARC domain fused to an LRR domain. The coiled-coil (CC) domain at the N terminus of some solanaceous NB-LRR proteins is extended with a...
