plant-disease
Plant diseases are conditions caused by pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes that disrupt normal plant growth and function. Understanding these diseases is critical to plant science because they can devastate crops, reduce yields, and threaten biodiversity on a global scale. The field of plant pathology investigates disease mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, and resistance strategies to develop more resilient plants and effective management approaches.
