plant-disease-resistance
Plant disease resistance encompasses the mechanisms by which plants defend themselves against pathogens, including pre-formed physical and chemical barriers as well as active immune responses triggered by infection. Understanding these defense pathways is fundamental to plant biology, as they determine whether a plant can suppress pathogen growth or succumb to disease. Research in this field drives advances in crop protection, helping scientists develop plants with durable, broad-spectrum resistance to reduce agricultural losses.
