Innate immune pattern recognition receptors, such as the Toll-like receptors (TLRs), are key mediators of the immune response to infection and central to our understanding of health and disease 1.

Plants are continuously evolving new immune receptors to ever-changing pathogens. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have traced the origin and evolutionary ...

In the version of the article initially published, in Fig. 4h, the “α-HA” image was a duplicate of the “α-GFP” image. The correct “α-HA” image has now been added to Fig. 4h, and the corresponding ...

Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the production ...

Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells. The ability of these receptors to detect ...
