Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLR) are an essential component of plant immunity. NLR evolution is complex and dynamic, with rapid expansions, contractions, and polymorphism. Hundreds of high-quality plant genomes generated over the last 2 decades provide substantial insight into the evolutionary dynamics of NLR genes. Despite steadily decreasing sequencing costs, the difficulty of sequencing,...
