Profiling the extended phenotype of plant pathogens: Challenges in Bacterial Molecular Plant Pathology.

Abstract excerpt

One of the most fundamental questions in plant pathology is what determines whether a pathogen grows within a plant? This question is frequently studied in terms of the role of elicitors and pathogenicity factors in the triggering or overcoming of host defences. However, this focus fails to address the basic question of how the environment in host tissues acts to support or restrict pathogen growth. Efforts to...
