Molecular Mimicry Enables Engineering of NLR Immune Receptors with Multi-Recognition.
A novel evolutionary strategy underlying the recognition of the blast fungus effector Pwl2 by the barley NLR MLA3 is uncovered, in which MLA3 acts as a molecular mimic of the effector's virulence target, the heavy metal-associated protein HIPP43.
