A wheat immune receptor pair executes cell death through a helper MLKL

2026-08-07

Abstract excerpt

To promote disease resistance, plant nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors often require paired co-receptors. In many cases, paired NLRs comprise one NLR to perceive effectors (the sensor) and another NLR to execute cell death (the helper). However, NLRs can also pair with sensor kinase fusion protein (KFP) receptors, but whether non-NLR components within such pairs can execute cell death,...
