Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins play a pivotal role in plant immunity by recognizing pathogen effectors1,2. Maintaining a balanced immune response is crucial, as excessive NLR expression can lead to unintended autoimmunity3,4. Unlike most NLRs, the plant NLR required for cell death 2 (NRC2) belongs to a small NLR group characterized by constitutively high expression without self-activation5....
