Abstract excerpt
Plants utilize versatile leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins to perceive diverse pathogen-derived signals, thereby activating or suppressing defense responses. However, the specific roles of LRR-only proteins in pathogen-specific resistance remain largely unclear. Here, we show that allelic variations in an Arabidopsis thaliana LRR-only gene, LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT IMMUNE PROTEIN 1 (LRIP1), underlies dual functions...
