Abstract excerpt
Fungi harbor diverse arrays of genes encoding NOD-like receptors (NLRs), key intracellular immune proteins found in plants, animals, and bacteria. Some fungal NLRs are known to control regulated cell death in the context of allorecognition, the capacity to recognize conspecific nonself. However, the function of most fungal NLR genes remains unknown. Here, we characterize the evolution of the NLRs repertoire in...
