infectious-disease
Infectious disease in plants refers to illnesses caused by the invasion and multiplication of pathogens—including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and oomycetes—within plant tissues, triggering damaging host responses. Understanding plant infectious disease is critical for agriculture and ecosystem health, as crop pathogens cause significant yield losses and can devastate natural plant communities. Research in this area drives the development of disease-resistant cultivars, biological controls, and integrated pest management strategies to protect food security worldwide.
