Plant pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) confer resistance to infection by many microbes by recognizing conserved molecules important for pathogen viability. Lacombe et al. show that transfer of a PRR from a wild species to tobacco and tomato plants renders them resistant to several bacterial phytopathogens.
