Molecular and functional analyses of a maize autoactive NB-LRR protein identify precise structural requirements for activity.
Plant disease resistance is often mediated by nucleotide binding-leucine rich repeat (NLR) proteins which remain auto-inhibited until recognition of specific pathogen-derived molecules causes their activation, triggering a rapid, localized cell death called a hypersensitive response (HR). Three doma...
