Diversity, abundance, and domain architecture of plant NLR proteins in Fabaceae.

ABSTRACT: The resistance (R) gene family in plants is a vital component of the plant defense system, enabling host resistance against pathogens through interactions with pathogen effector proteins. These R genes often encode nucleotide-binding (NB-ARC or N) and leucine-rich-repeat (LRR or L) domains, collectively forming the NLR protein family. The NLR proteins have been widely explored in crops from Poaceae and Brassicaceae, but limited studies are available for crops in other families, including Fabaceae. To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of putative NLR proteins in nine Fabaceae crops, including Glycine max, Lupinus angustifolius, Medicago truncatula, Pisum sativum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Tr
