Scientists uncover novel immune mechanism of wheat tandem kinase

Summary

Nutrition label

92% Informative

Researchers have unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinases combat pathogen invasion.

An atypical NLR protein, WTN1 ( Wheat Tandem NBD 1 ), partners with the tandem kinase WTK3 to detect pathogen effectors and initiate immune responses.

The findings are anticipated to address the scarcity of broad-spectrum powdery mildewresistance genes in China 's major wheat-producing regions.
