Ancient pangenomic origins of noncanonical NLR genes underlying the recent evolutionary rescue of a staple crop

Carl J. VanGessel, Terry J. Felderhoff, Daniil M. Prigozhin, Meihua Cui, Gaël Pressoir, Adam L. Healey, John T. Lovell, Vamsi J. Nalam, Marc T. Nishimura, Geoffrey P. Morris

The paper identifies the pangenomic origins and molecular basis of RMES1, a noncanonical NLR gene that enabled evolutionary rescue in sorghum by disrupting aphid feeding through global immunity activation.
