Figure 7. A model for the role of the lignin‐deposited structure in plant immunity.

Figure 7

  • A
    Bacterial pathogens invade leaf tissues through stomata.
  • B
    Pathogens proliferate in the extracellular space or the apoplast.
  • C, D
    Virulent pathogens spread over the infection site (C) and develop disease (D).
  • E, F
    Avirulent pathogens are restricted to the infection site as a result of the construction of the CASPL‐ and lignin‐deposited structure (E) and are eventually eliminated from the infection site of the leaf (F).
