NO VEIN is an ancestral immunity protein involved in plant-virus interaction

The conservation of immune systems from prokaryotes to eukaryotes can guide discovery of immunity genes across the tree of life. Most studies to date have focused on metazoan systems, while the extent of ancestral immunity conservation in plants remains underexplored. Here we show that NO VEIN (NOV), a plant protein previously characterized for its essential developmental roles in Arabidopsis…
