Pest resistance in plant science refers to the natural or engineered ability of plants to withstand, deter, or recover from damage caused by insects, nematodes, and other harmful organisms. Developing pest-resistant crop varieties is a central goal of plant breeding, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides while protecting yield and food quality. Understanding the genetic and biochemical mechanisms behind resistance helps researchers design more durable and sustainable agricultural solutions.
