A fungal pathogen induces systemic susceptibility and systemic shifts in wheat metabolome and microbiome composition

The fungal plant pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici is a major threat to wheat yield. Here Seybold et al. show that Z. tritici can suppress immune responses not only in infected tissue but also on other leaves, a phenomenon termed “systemic induced susceptibility” that is correlated with systemic changes...
