Periodic Reporting for period 3 - INTERCELLAR (The role of the symplast in host-pathogen interactions – how does the symplastic, intercellular exchange of molecules regulate the outcomes of defence and infection?)

Cell-to-cell communication is fundamental to all multicellular organisms. In plants, the cytoplasm of adjacent cells is connected via intercellular ‘tunnels’ that cross the cell wall called plasmodesmata. These establish direct connections between cells and allow for the...
