Abstract excerpt
In plants, multiple cell types contribute to immunity, but what division of labor exists among cell types when immunity is activated? We compared, at single-cell resolution, the response of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf cells during pattern-triggered and effector-triggered immunity (PTI/ETI), sampled at 3 and 5 h after infection with Pseudomonas syringae DC3000. Core defense modules were broadly shared across cell...
