In silico discovery and functional validation of defense-related proteins across diverse Solanaceae species

The Solanaceae family includes diverse crop species of major agricultural importance. Their defense against pathogens depends on a complex immune network involving pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. However, the conservation and diversification of these genes across immune-associated pathways have not been systematically examined in a…
