disease-resistance

28 articles

Disease-resistance is the ability of plants to prevent or reduce disease presence through genetic or environmental factors. This is essential for plant science because it enables the development of crops that can thrive with fewer chemical interventions, increasing agricultural sustainability and food security. Understanding these resistance mechanisms allows researchers to breed more resilient plants and develop strategies to combat evolving pathogens.
