Plants are constantly exposed to a range of pathogens and have evolved two layers of immune systems to recognize and fend off pathogens. In this issue, Wang et al. (pp. 2–24) provide an update on the mechanisms by which the cell‐surface localized PRRs recognize the ligands and activate downstream immune responses, and discuss current understanding of the mechanisms by which NLRs switch from inactive states to active states to initiate immune responses.
