Interfamily transfer of dual NB-LRR genes confers resistance to multiple pathogens.

Interfamily transfer of dual NB-LRR genes confers resistance to multiple pathogens.

A major class of disease resistance (R) genes which encode nucleotide binding and leucine rich repeat (NB-LRR) proteins have been used in traditional breeding programs for crop protection. However, it has been difficult to functionally transfer NB-LRR-type R genes in taxonomically distinct families....
