All plant organs are vulnerable to colonisation and molecular manipulation by microbes. When this interaction allows proliferation of the microbe at the expense of the host, the microbe can be described as a pathogen. In our attempts to understand the full nature of the interactions that occur between a potential pathogen and its host, various aspects of the molecular mechanisms of infection and defence have begun to be characterised. There is significant variation in these mechanisms. While previous research has examined plant-pathogen interactions with whole plant/organ resolution, the specificity of infection strategies and changes in both gene expression and protein localisation of immune receptors upon infection suggest there is much to be gained from examination of plant-microbe interactions at the cellular level.
所有植物器官都容易受到微生物的定殖和分子操作的影响。当这种相互作用允许微生物在宿主的代价下增殖时，这种微生物可以被描述为病原体。在我们试图了解潜在病原体与其宿主之间发生的相互作用的全部性质时，感染和防御的分子机制的各个方面已经开始被描述。这些机制存在显著的差异。虽然之前的研究已经以整个植物/器官分辨率检查了植物-病原体的相互作用，但是感染策略的特异性以及感染时免疫受体的基因表达和蛋白定位的变化表明，从细胞水平检查植物-微生物的相互作用会有很多收获。
