In silico molecular interactions study of pattern recognition receptor XA26 and plant pathogen-associated molecular patterns

Plants are sessile organisms that rely entirely on innate immune system for defense against pathogenic microbes or pest. First line defense of plant is known as pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). PTI is activated by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of the host plant by pattern-recogniti...
