This study shows that NbRD21 protease regulates receptor-like kinase homeostasis in Nicotiana benthamiana by affecting their post-translational processing and endocytic recycling.

This study identifies key residues in plant receptors that enable expanded flg22 perception and develops a framework for rational receptor engineering to enhance pathogen restriction.

The paper introduces mamp-ml, a deep learning model predicting plant receptor-ligand interactions using sequence data and ESM-2, achieving 73% accuracy without experimental structures.

This study shows that editing the PIRE gene in tomato enhances ROS production and resistance to foliar pathogens but not soilborne pathogens.
