A wheat tandem kinase sensor activates an NLR helper to trigger immunity

Renjie Chen, Jian Chen, Oliver R. Powell, Megan A. Outram, Taj Arndell, Karthick Gajendiran, Yan L. Wang, Jibril Lubega, Yang Xu, Michael Ayliffe, Cheryl Blundell, Melania Figueroa, Jana Sperschneider, Thomas Vanhercke, K. Kanyuka, , Brande B. H. Wulff

The paper identifies a two-component resistance mechanism in wheat where a tandem kinase sensor recruits an NLR helper to trigger immunity against fungal pathogens.
