Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Defense response by NBS-LRR proteins (NLRs) is a sophisticated strategy that induces effector-triggered immunity (ETI). The NBS-LRR proteins are encoded by one of the largest and most important gene families involved in disease resistance in plants. These NBS-LRR proteins are mainly intracellular, and they can specifically recognize effectors secreted by pathogens either directly or indirectly. This will trigger downstream signaling pathways leading to implementation of plant defense response against various classes of pathogens including bacterial, fungal, viral, nematode and insect. In the present chapter we discuss about the present knowledge pertaining to NBS-LRR class of proteins; their structural organization, genomic ditribution and evolution.
