Single Amino Acid Mutations in the Potato Immune Receptor R3a Expand Response to Phytophthora Effectors

Both plants and animals rely on nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing (NB-LRR or NLR) proteins to respond to invading pathogens and activate immune responses. How plant NB-LRR proteins respond to pathogens is poorly understood. We undertook a gain-of-function random mutagenesi...
