Nature Communications, Published online: 02 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72199-w The wheat NLR Pm3e provides broad-spectrum resistance against powdery mildew. Here, the authors show that Pm3e recognizes two structurally unrelated effector proteins and that its range can be further expanded by NLR engineering.
