Cross-sections of tomato plant stems observed with fluorescence microscopy from susceptible (left) and resistant (right) tomato plant varieties infected with Ralstonia solanacearum. Resistant plants show an accumulation of phenolic compounds (blue fluorescence) and ligno-suberin-related compounds (green fluorescence) at their vasculature that provide a restriction mechanism against the bacterium. 14 | February | 2022 A wall to stop bacterial wilt
