Cell-type-specific activation of broadly perceived effector-triggered immunity restricts pathogen invasion in plants.

Effector-triggered immunity (ETI) is central in plant defense, but whether all cell types execute ETI similarly remains unknown. We combined chemically imposed immune activation with single-cell transcriptomics to profile ETI responses across major leaf cell types in Arabidopsis. Despite uniform ETI perception, we find...
