Scientists uncover novel immune mechanism of wheat tandem kinase

Summary by ecotopical.com

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, thereby conferring resistance to multiple fungal diseases in wheat.

Breakthrough Discovery: Researchers Reveal Innovative Immune Mechanism in

Wheat, a staple food crop, is cultivated on more land than any other agricultural product. This widespread cultivation comes at a significant cost, as wheat is highly vulnerable to fungal pathogens that threaten yields and food security on a global scale. Every year, losses attributed to these fungal infections amount to billions of dollars, highlighting the urgent need for effective solutions to combat these agricultural adversaries. In light o…
