Oomycete Plant Pathogens Use Electric Fields to Target Roots
Plant roots generate electrical currents and associated electrical fields as a consequence of electrogenic ion transport at the root surface. Here we demonstrate that the attraction of swimming zoospores of oomycete plant pathogens to plant roots is mediated in part by electrotaxis in natural root-g...
