About the line
In this research line we are characterising a plant two-tiered regulatory mechanism based on gene silencing that contributes to control the expression of a wide network of TIR-NBS-LRR genes in the absence of pathogens, thus limiting the impact on plant fitness of constitutive defence expression.
