Abstract

The nutrient-rich extracellular plant compartment, the apoplast, is an attractive niche for attacks by microbial pathogens. Here, we highlight recent trends in plant-pathogen competition for apoplastic sugars in the context of innate immune responses in various plant-pathogen interaction systems.
