A conserved phospho-switch controls receptor kinase SDS2 activation and homeostasis in rice immunity

Plant surface immune receptors are tightly controlled to maintain homeostasis and prevent overactivation. However, the mechanisms coordinating the balance remain largely unknown. The monocot-specific receptor-like kinase SDS2 regulates cell death and immunity in rice. Here, we identify Thr671, a conserved phospho-switc...
