An arms race between a plant and a virus

Plants have immune systems that defend them against various disease-causing microbes. One virus targets plant hormone receptors to help it to infect plants. As a defence, a plant has evolved an immune receptor that mimics hormone receptors, recognizes a virus-encoded protein and triggers immune defences.

This is a summary of: Chen, J. et al. NLR surveillance of pathogen interference with hormone receptors induces immunity. Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-05529-9 (2022).
