Abstract

cell-surface immune receptor RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN 23 (RLP23) enhances plant immunity by enabling functional signaling triggered by the conserved pathogen peptide nlp20. Structural optimization enables broad-spectrum disease resistance across species without compromising growth, demonstrating the potential of rationally reprogrammed pattern recognition receptors as a durable and sustainable strategy for crop protection.
