pathogen-resistance
Pathogen-resistance in plants refers to the suite of genetic and molecular mechanisms that allow plants to detect, defend against, and survive attack by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms. Understanding these defense pathways is central to plant biology, as they determine how crops and wild plants withstand disease in natural and agricultural environments. Researchers study pathogen-resistance to develop more resilient plant varieties, reducing reliance on chemical treatments and helping ensure food security in the face of evolving microbial threats.
