Plants use Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) as their first line of defence against pathogens, while bacteria employ effector molecules to evade plant immunity. Bacterial effectors exploit intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) to escape immune detection. In contrast, plant resistance gene produ...
