Genome-wide identification, and gene expression analysis of NBS-LRR domain containing R genes in <i>Chenopodium quinoa</i> for unveiling the dynamic contribution in plant immunity against <i>Cercospora</i> cf. <i>chenopodii</i>.

ABSTRACT: The plant R genes encode the NLR proteins comprising nucleotide-binding sites (NBS) and variable-length C-terminal leucine-rich repeat domains. The proteins act as intracellular immune receptors and recognize effector proteins of phytopathogens, which convene virulence. Among stresses, diseases contribute majorly to yield loss in crop plants, and R genes confer disease resistance against phytopathogens. We investigated the NLRome of Chenopodium quinoa for intraspecific diversity, characterization, and contribution to immune response regulation against phytopathogens. One eighty-three NBS proteins were identified and grouped into four distinct classes. Exon-intron organization displayed discrimination in gene structure patterns among NLR proteins. Thirty-eight NBS proteins revealed o
