Extracellular water withdrawal drives disease resistance in the phyllosphere
2026-08-28
Abstract excerpt
A central question in immunity is how hosts arrest pathogen growth. Diverse plant pathogens create a water-soaked niche in host tissue essential for pathogenesis, yet how water shapes infection outcome is unknown. Using genetics and hyperspectral imaging, we show that extracellular water status is rate-limiting for both compatible and incompatible interactions. We find that the hypersensitive response of effector-...
