Description Phytopathogen infection leads to changes in secondary metabolism based on the induction of defence
programmes as well as to changes in primary metabolism which affect growth and development of the
plant. Therefore, pathogen attack causes crop yield
losses even in interactions which do not end up with
disease or death of the plant. While the regulation of
defence responses has been intensively studied for
decades, less is known about the effects of pathogen
infection on primary metabolism. Recently, interest in
this research area has been growing, and aspects of
photosynthesis, assimilate partitioning, and source–
sink regulation in different types of plant–pathogen
interactions have been investigated. Similarly, phytopathological studies take into consideration the physiological status of the infected tissues to elucidate the
fine-tuned infection mechanisms. The aim of this
review is to give a summary of recent advances in the
mutual interrelation between primary metabolism and
pathogen infection, as well as to indicate current
developments in non-invasive techniques and important strategies of combining modern molecular and
physiological techniques with phytopathology for future investigations.
