Abstract

Plant helper NLRs are immune signal transducers. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Wang et al. report that the ADR1 subfamily of helper NLRs in Arabidopsis thaliana is functionally diversified to cope with the perturbation by bacterial pathogen effector and is guarded by the NLR protein SNC1.
