Cell surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) activate immune responses that can include the hypersensitive cell death. However, the pathways that link PRRs to the cell death response are poorly understood. Here, we show that the cell surface receptor-like protein Cf-4 requires the intracellu...

In this video, invited guests Sophien Kamoun and Phil Carella join our global plant science talk series to discuss their research.

Sophien Kamoun's talk is titled "Evolutionary dynamics of NLR immune receptors in plants" Dr. Kamoun is senior scientist at the Sainsbury Laboratory and professor o...

Plants can get sick too. In fact, they get infected by all types of microbes and little critters. But plants have evolved an effective immune system to fight off pathogen invasion. Amazingly, nearly every single plant cell is able to protect itself and its neighbours against infections. The plant...
