· Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) are critical in plant immunity and display remarkable allelic diversity. Coiled-coiled NLRs (CC-NLRs) are the most widespread group of these r...

Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat immune receptors (NLRs) are known for their rapid evolution, even at the intraspecific level, yet the rates of evolution differ significantly across v...

Deep learning methods have been used to design proteins that can neutralize the effects of three-finger toxins found in snake venom, which could lead to the development of safer and more accessible an...

PhD Project - Bioengineering of plant NLR (nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat) immune receptors to enhance disease resistance at Imperial College London, listed on FindAPhD.com

Plants recognize bacteria by perceiving a 22-residue epitope in flagellin. Plant-secreted SBT5.2 subtilases are found to inactivate this epitope, leading to elicitor removal and reducing costly immuni...

NLR immune receptors can be functionally organized in genetically linked sensor-helper pairs. However, methods to categorize paired NLRs remain limited, primarily relying on the presence of non-canoni...

The intracellular colonization of plant roots by the beneficial fungal endophyte Serendipita indica follows a biphasic strategy, including a host cell…

Accurately determining the elemental composition of plant tissues is essential for physiological studies on plant stress, including salinity tolerance. However, high-throughput routine analysis of lig...

Students can struggle to articulate the goals and rationale behind their research projects and navigate through the day to day challenges of laboratory research. GOHREP and PLESI can be helpful…

Plants use NLR immune receptors, which often require downstream "helper" NLRs, for pathogen defense. This study identifies and structurally characterizes the mechanisms of NLR activation, showing that...

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Faulkner Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Cell and Developmental Biology.

Avs proteins are bacterial anti-phage pattern recognition receptors evolutionarily related to eukaryotic NLRs. Here, Béchon et al show that a single bacterial Avs can recognize different phage protein...

Om ervoor te zorgen dat iedereen op de aardbol genoeg te eten heeft zullen we heel slim met ons voedsel om moeten gaan. Tirsa gaat naar een hightech plantenlaboratorium in Utrecht. Daar wordt uitvoeri...

Genomic and pangenomic data are yielding insights into the evolution of plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and their molecular triggers. Recent advances in in silico and in vivo methods, along...

Determining the three-dimensional structures of protein-peptide complexes is crucial for elucidating biological processes and designing peptide-based drugs. Protein-peptide docking has become essentia...

Researchers shouldn’t be in postdoc positions for more than 5 years, the group also suggests

Genomic polyploidy is prevalent in the plant kingdom, giving rise to dominant and recessive subgenomes. We show that the recessive subgenomes of the pitcher plant Nepenthes gracilis had a crucial role...

Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat immune receptors (NLRs) confer disease resistance

Author summary Genetic manipulation of bacterial genomes has greatly advanced our understanding of bacterial physiology and pathogenesis, which further helps us build up cell factories for the product...
