Identification of receptor complex components and receptor activation mechanisms in plant innate immunity [PDF]
, 2011 Plants rely on an innate immune system which successfully recognizes and restricts pathogenic microbes. The key for this defense is the detection of pathogen derived non-self signatures and endogenous elicitors released during a microbial attack.
