Mechanistic model of NLR network–mediated pepper NHR against P. infestans. Pepper is diverged from host plants of P. infestans in the Solanaceae (potato and tomato) 20 million years ago; however, pepper still possess multiple NLRs that recognize P. infestans effectors. Some of these NLRs could be more tolerant to immune suppression mechanisms of P. infestans compared to functional homologues of host plants. This NLR network may contribute to the robust NHR of pepper against the non‐adapted P. infestans and could be exploited to confer durable resistance in susceptible crops such as potato and tomato.
