immune-modulation

4 articles

Immune-modulation in plants refers to the enhancement or modification of a plant's natural defense mechanisms to strengthen resistance against pathogens and environmental stresses. By understanding and leveraging immune-modulation, researchers can develop crop varieties that are more resilient to disease while requiring fewer chemical pesticide inputs. This approach offers a sustainable avenue for addressing disease pressures and environmental challenges that threaten agricultural productivity and food security.
