Convergent reduction of immune receptor repertoires during plant adaptation to diverse special lifestyles and habitats.
Article in Nature plants, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Plants deploy cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) to recognize pathogens. However, how plant immune receptor repertoires evolve in responding to changed pathogen burdens remains elusive. Here we reveal the convergent reduction of NLR repertoires in plants with diverse special lifestyles/habitats (SLHs) encountering low pathogen burdens. Furthermore, a parallel but milder reduction of PRR genes in SLH species was observed. The reduction of PRR and NLR genes was attributed to both increased gene loss and decreased gene duplication. Notably, pronounced loss of immune receptors was associated with the complete absence of signalling components from the enhanced disease susceptibility 1 (EDS1) and the resistance to powdery mildew 8 (RPW8)-NLR (RNL) families. In addition, evolutionary pattern analysis suggested that the conserved toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-only proteins might function tightly with EDS1/RNL. Taken together, these results reveal the hierarchically adaptive evolution of the two-tiered immune receptor repertoires during plant adaptation to diverse SLHs.
