Plant researchers and bioinformatics researchers have succeeded for the first time in identifying the functions of the different cell types in the leaf vasculature of plants. The leaf vasculature of ...

Vascular plants deploy a diverse array of secretory structures—including glandular trichomes, colleters, nectaries and ducts—to synthesise, transport and release a wide spectrum of metabolites. These ...

Soil-borne fungal pathogens are responsible for major agricultural losses worldwide, yet the way they invade and spread ...

Plant-vascular pathogens colonise the xylem vessels of their hosts, deploying a sophisticated array of molecular strategies to overcome plant defences and extract nutrients. Initial invasion often ...
