Plug-and-fight: engineering plant immunity by domain swapping
) genomes identified previously undescribed resistance genes. This analysis prompted the design of the "domain plug-in" engineering strategy, which involves swapping functional domains between NLRs to broaden the scope of disease resistance. This approach provides a transformative blueprint for designing crops with durable, broad-spectrum disease resistance.
