Beautiful work by @Suchi_EV_Plants.
🧬 This new exciting research by @Suchi_EV_Plants and colleagues reveals how Medicago sativa (alfalfa) fights off infection by fungal pathogens! To learn how incompatible Colletotrichum infection triggers a stronger immune response with the formation of paramural bodies &
