Plant resistance to pathogens relies on a complex network of constitutive and inducible
defensive barriers. The plant cell wall is one of the barriers that pathogens need to …

The plant cell wall is the first physical and defensive barrier against pathogens. The plant
cell wall usually undergoes dynamic remodeling as an immune response to prevent …

The cell wall is a dynamic structure that often determines the outcome of the interactions
between plants and pathogens. It is a barrier that pathogens need to breach to colonize the …

The battle between plants and microbes is evolutionarily ancient, highly complex, and often
co-dependent. A primary challenge for microbes is to breach the physical barrier of host cell …

Prospective plant pathogens must overcome the physical barrier presented by the plant cell
wall. In addition to being a preformed, passive barrier limiting access of pathogens to plant …

Pathogenic bacteria invade plant tissues and proliferate in the extracellular space. Plants
have evolved the immune system to recognize and limit the growth of pathogens. Despite …

Plant cells are surrounded by a dynamic cell wall that performs many essential biological
roles, including regulation of cell expansion, the control of tissue cohesion, ion-exchange …

The individual sugars found within the major classes of plant cell wall polymers are dietary
components of herbivores and are targeted for release in industrial processes for …

All plant pathogens and parasites have had to develop strategies to overcome cell walls in
order to access the host's cytoplasm. As a mechanically strong, multi-layered composite …

New findings challenge the traditional view of the plant cell wall as passive structural barrier
to invasion by fungal microorganisms. A surveillance system for cell wall integrity appears to …
