Abstract | Experiments reported in the past year have revealed considerable diversity in Toll-mediated pathways for signal transduction in development and innate immunity. Rather than function as a well conserved signaling cassette, Toll receptors and associated factors have apparently evolved as a diverse set of configurations to defend against microbial infection in species ranging from plants to humans. |
