Phytophthora palmivora establishes tissue-specific intracellular infection structures in the earliest divergent land plant lineage [Plant Biology]

The expansion of plants onto land was a formative event that brought forth profound changes to the earth's geochemistry and biota. Filamentous eukaryotic microbes developed the ability to colonize plant tissues early during the evolution of land plants, as demonstrated by intimate, symbiosis-like associations in >400 million-year-old fossils. However, the...
