Hydathodes at the forefront of plant immunity against vascular pathogens
Hydathodes are tiny plant organs that form an interface between the leaf surface and xylem vasculature. They facilitate excretion of xylem fluid under…

New paper from my PhD lab, continuing the work on plant immunity in hydathodes against Xanthomonas campestris.
Hydathode immunity 🌱 - the discovery journey continues ... ⏩ Today: Immune receptor SUT1 confers resistance against #Xanthomonas pathogens in hydathodes. In the latest version, we contrast the tissue-specificity of SUT1 with the well-known ZAR1 resistance.
