Plants live in a world filled with microbes, and spend their lives engaged in the delicate dance of nurturing beneficial interactions while simultaneously reducing disease-causing interactions. was recently selected in a crowd-sourced effort as the top, unanswered question in the field of molecular plant-microbe interactions.
