Infection of a tomato cell culture by Phytophthora infestans; a versatile tool to study Phytophthora-host interactions
Abstract Background The oomycete Phytophthora infestans causes late blight on potato and tomato.Despite extensive research, the P.infestans-host interaction is still poorly understood.To find new ways to further unravel this interaction we established a new infection system using MsK8 tomato cells.These cells grow in suspension and can be maintaine
