Here we found that NIL‐R had significantly less ROS (H2O2) accumulation and cell death than WT before and after pathogen infection (Figures 2 and S7), which is consistent with observations in Arabidopsis AtSGR1 (Mur et al. 2010) and rice OsSGR (Jiang et al. 2011) mutants. The gene discussed is IL21R; the disease is infection.
