Abstract

Plants provide microorganisms with water and nutrients. Plants and microorganisms have co-evolved through time, so that pathogens are able to resist vegetal defensive mechanisms, but they can also trigger in plants new defensive strategies. This review article introduces and discusses some of these basic co-evolution mechansisms between plants and pathogens.
