This study identifies NRG1 as a plant NLR receptor that targets chloroplasts to trigger immunity by channeling stromal calcium into the cytosol, revealing a novel mechanism for organelle-specific immune signaling.

The study identifies a hydrophobic core in the coiled-coil domain of NRCs that is essential for their function in immunity.

The paper visualizes calcium signaling and organelle dynamics during resistosome-mediated cell death in plants, revealing a sequential cascade of subcellular events.

The paper shows how functional divergence in NRC3 variants shapes the genetic architecture of the NLR network in solanaceous plants, leading to subfunctionalization and increased immune system complexity.
