Abstract:
Plant development can be drastically stimulated by beneficial microorganisms. However, the underlying mechanisms are not always understood. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Castrillo et al. investigated this question and uncovered that leaf-associated bacteria can stimulate individual leaf development through their influence on the growth-defense trade-off.

Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...
