A Stomatal Model of Anatomical Tradeoffs Between Gas Exchange and Pathogen Colonization
Stomatal pores control leaf gas exchange and are one route for infection of internal plant tissues by many foliar pathogens, setting up the potential for tradeoffs between photosynthesis and pathogen colonization. Anatomical shifts to lower stomatal density and/or size may also limit pathogen coloni...
