Tender green leaves and tasty tubers, roots, and stems are vulnerable to a wide range of pathogens, pests, and herbivores. Perhaps it should not be surprising that plants have evolved an equally wide range of defense mechanisms. This issue of The Plant Cell includes reviews of just a few of the many
