Abstract excerpt
Organisms are constantly challenged by pathogens and pests, which can drive the evolution of growth-defense strategies. Plant stomata are essential for gas exchange during photosynthesis and conceptually lie at the intersection of the physiological demands of growth and exposure to foliar fungal pathogens. Generations of natural selection for locally adapted growth-defense strategies can eliminate variation...
