Escalation in the host-pathogen arms race: A host resistance response corresponds to a heightened bacterial virulence response.
The zig-zag model of host-pathogen interaction describes the relative strength of defense response across a spectrum of pathogen-induced plant phenotypes. A stronger defense response results in increased resistance. Here, we investigate the strength of pathogen virulence during disease and place the...
