Abstract It is apparent that the plant cytoskeleton plays an active role in modulating the response of plants to changes in their environment. In this article, we reviewed current understanding of the role of the plant cytoskeleton in signal transduction and the plant response to pathogens.

Key words cytoskeleton; pathogen; signal transduction
