title: Mis-placed Congeniality: When Pathogens Ask Their Plant Hosts for Another Drink.
abstract: Plants control nutrient availability in intercellular spaces (the apoplast) via transporters, channels, and vesicular transport. Recent papers in Science and Nature from two groups have highlighted how plants control sugar to restrict bacterial growth (Yamada et al., 2016) and how increased water availability enhances pathogenesis (Xin et al., 2016).
