A model of the evolutionary processes in LRRs that generate novel resistance specificities. (A) Indels in the backbone of the LRR domain. (B) Hypervariability in the E4C5 region. (C) Expansion/contraction in the overall number of LRR units. (D) Changes in secondary structure resulting from amino acid changes outside of the E4C5 region.
