Abstract:
Along with the emergence of green plants on this planet one billion years ago, the nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene family originated and diverged into at least three subclasses. Two of them, with either characterized N-terminal toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) or coiled-coil (CC) domain, serve as major types of immune receptor of effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants, whereas the one having a N-terminal Resistance to powdery mildew8 (RPW8) domain, functions as signal transfer component to them. In this review, we briefly summarized the history of identification of diverse NLR subclasses across Viridiplantae lineages during the establishment of NLR category, and highlighted recent advances on the evolution of NLR genes and several key downstream signal components under the background of ecological adaption.
