• A bacterial endophyte from apoplast fluids protects canola plants from different phytopathogens via antibiosis and induction of host resistance 

      Romero, Fernando Matias; Rossi, Franco Rubén; Gárriz, Andrés; Carrasco, Pedro; Ruiz, Oscar Adolfo (American Phytopathological Society, 2019-03)
      Endophytic bacteria colonize inner plant tissues and thrive at the apoplast, which is considered its main reservoir. Because this niche is the place where the main molecular events take place between beneficial and pathogenic ...
