Alternative Cell Death Mechanisms Determine Epidermal Resistance in Incompatible Barley-Ustilago Interactions

Programmed cell death is a key feature of epidermal plant immunity, which is particularly effective against biotrophic microbes that depend on living host tissue. The covered smut fungus Ustilago hordei establishes a compatible biotrophic interaction with its host plant barley. The maize smut U. may...
