Over the past 20 years, genomics and genomics-enabled technologies have revealed remarkable diversity in genome size, architecture, and gene regulatory mechanisms. In this review, Wagner C. Fagundes et al. discuss how genomics has advanced our understanding of genome organization…

Just published! In the latest H. H. Flor Distinguished Review, Barbara Valent honors Harold H. Flor’s legacy by exploring how the rapidly evolving rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae escapes plant resistance (R) genes by mutating or losing corresponding avirulence (AVR)…

🌾 Excited to share that our research on plant tandem kinase proteins (TKPs)! nature.com/articles/s4158… We found wheat TKP RWT4 directly binds to the fungal effector AvrPWT4 to trigger immune responses against the devastating Magnaporthe oryzae.

I am deeply honored to receive this award from the Phytopathological Society of Japan. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all past and present lab members, colleagues at Kobe University, and collaborators worldwide for their tremendous support.

Oh yes. This is new. Non-NLR and NLR pair for immune sensor and executor! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
