A primary cell wall cellulose-dependent defense mechanism against vascular pathogens revealed by time-resolved dual transcriptomics
Abstract Background Cell walls (CWs) are protein-rich polysaccharide matrices essential for plant growth and environmental acclimation.The CW constitutes the first physical barrier as well as a primary source of nutrients for microbes interacting with plants, such as the vascular pathogen Fusarium oxysporum (Fo).Fo colonizes roots, advancing throug
