Abstract

Despite many years of research, the molecular mechanisms underlying the activation and regulation of host plant resistance (HPR) to insects remain elusive. Recently, Guo et al. reported that a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat NLR protein activates HPR through direct recognition of an insect effector and that autophagy-mediated degradation of this effector negatively regulates HPR.
