This research investigates the role of specific resistance genes in plants that cause hybrid necrosis, a phenomenon affecting plant growth and immunity. By using genome editing, it aims to understand the mechanisms behind this trade-off and its implications for plant health.
Resistance (R) loci with nucleotide binding/leucine rich repeat (NB-LRR or NLR) domains have been identified as the major causal genes for hybrid necrosis, which presents an extreme example of the trade-off between plant growth and the activation of immune system.
This is an exciting finding both for plant breeders and plant pathologists.
However, how these NLR proteins or even the whole NLR family lead to hybrid necrosis, how they contribute to fitness under natural conditions, and how this is…
