Abstract excerpt
Plant immune genes are traditionally classified as resistance genes, susceptibility genes, or positive/negative regulators of defense. However, this framework does not fully explain a subset of immune-associated genes that display paradoxical disease phenotypes, in which genetic disruption enhances resistance despite the normal involvement of these genes in defense-related processes. GSL5/PMR4 is a representative...
