Domestication Reduces Plant Immune Receptor Gene Repertoires Across Lineages
Abstract. Plant domestication is sometimes associated with a reduction in the diversity of immune receptor genes, critical for pathogen recognition and def
Bourne et al. analyzed immune receptor gene repertoires of 15 domesticated crop species, showing that grapes, mandarins, rice, barley, and yellow sarson exhibit reduced immune receptor gene repertoires compared to wild counterparts.

Our new paper shows that plasticity that has evolved to deal with one stressful situation, can help plants to adapt rapidly to new stressful situations. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @meebangor.bsky.social @rbgkew.bsky.social @ukri.org @pnas.org
