How Bacteria Invade Grape Plants

A group of investigators has recently managed to produce never-before-seen images of a bacterial agent in the process of breaking down the cellular walls in grape plants. The new photographs were collected via a technique known as electron microscopy, and the group behind the accomplishment i... [ read more >> ]
