A sunflower FLS2 guides reconstruction of recognition of a Xanthomonas flg22 escape variant across divergent FLS2 receptors

Lichi Zhong, Ling Wu, Qiang Cheng

The paper identifies a sunflower FLS2 receptor that recognizes a flg22 escape variant and uses structural and engineering approaches to reconstruct recognition in divergent FLS2 homologues.

Gymnosperm FLS2 orthologues mediate conserved flg22 perception and divergent responses to flg22 variants

Hongju Xiao, Xiaodie Huo, Ling Wu, Lichi Zhong, Qiang Cheng

This study identifies and characterizes two gymnosperm FLS2 orthologues, showing they function as flagellin receptors and exhibit divergent responses to flg22 variants.
