Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation NRCX lacks a functional N-terminal MADA motif and capacity to trigger autoimmunity.
- Intervention effect Systemic NRCX silencing markedly impairs growth and produces dwarf plants.
- Association NRC2 and NRC3 partially determine dwarfism following NRCX silencing.
- Association NRC4 does not contribute to dwarfism following NRCX silencing.
- Association Altered NRCX expression modulates NRC2-mediated hypersensitive response.
- Association Altered NRCX expression modulates NRC3-mediated hypersensitive response.
- Mechanism The authors infer NRCX has a negative regulatory role in the NRC network.
