Overview

Randomized trial reveals an innovative model for annotating disease-resistance genes in plants, suggesting advancements in crop breeding.

Key Points

  • The study aims to develop precise methods for identifying disease-resistance genes in plants to enhance crop breeding.
  • Proposed ESM-LRR, a deep protein language model for predicting LRR domains in proteins.
  • Developed R-Predictor to annotate diverse domain topologies across the plant genome.
  • Integrated gene expression profiles with R-Predictor to identify candidate resistance genes.
  • ESM-LRR achieved a maximum F1 score of 0.80 using 90% identity as the threshold.
  • R-Predictor outperformed existing methods with F1 scores of 0.89 for RLKs and 0.88 for NLRs.
  • R-Predictor detected dozens of candidate R genes linked to grape gray mold and downy mildew.
