Abstract
Plant Immunity Disease resistance in plants depends on genes that allow them to recognize when they are infected by a pathogen so that they can mount a timely defense response. Unfortunately, pathogens can often overcome endogenous disease resistance genes by evolving new virulence strategies that escape detection. Kim et al. modified the pathogen recognition systems in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to widen its reach. The approach should enable the development of crops with more durable disease resistance and hence reduce pesticide use and increase crop yields. Science , this issue p.
