An interesting paper about the transfer of the dicot immune receptor EFR into the monocot crop rice. The authors demonstrate full functionality of the immune receptor in rice and its ability to contribute to bacterial immunity. For readers interested in the topic I would suggest to also read up on the following pre-print EFR in rice leads to ligand dependent activation of immune responses, which was posted June 11th 2014 well before initial submission of this manuscript. We regret that the author's did not cite our pre-print in their here presented work.
