Mutations in an atypical TIR-NB-LRR-LIM resistance protein confers autoimmunity

In order to defend against infection, plants employ a complex immune system that relies partly on resistance (R) proteins which initiate intricate signalling cascades upon pathogen detection. The resistance signalling network in plants is only partially characterized. A genetic screen conducted to i...
