title: Trapping the intruder - immune receptor domain fusions provide new molecular leads for improving disease resistance in plants.
abstract: A new study uses genomics to show that fusions of plant immune receptors and other protein domains occur in significant numbers. This finding will generate many new research hypotheses and provide new opportunities for breeding resistant plant varieties.
