A built-in brake for plant immunity: Resistance (R) protein–mediated immunity is fine-tuned by R gene analogs
It is proposed that this endogenous regulation balances the intensity of R8-mediated immunity, likely reducing selection pressure on the pathogen population and prolonging resistance durability, providing a conceptual framework for durable resistance breeding.
