Comparative analysis of PRR receptors and R genes reveals structural and functional divergence between wild, ancestral, and commercial citrus species.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Citriculture holds significant socioeconomic importance but is adversely affected by diseases that reduce productivity. Plant disease resistance is typically relies on efficient defense mechanisms - PTI and ETI - involving PRR receptors and R genes responsible for pathogen recognition and the initiation of defense responses. RESULTS: In silico analyses performed on 11 genomes of 10 Citrus species, as...
