plant-immunity
Plant immunity encompasses the mechanisms by which plants detect and defend against pathogens, including both physical barriers and active immune responses triggered by infection. Understanding these defense systems is fundamental to plant biology, as they determine how effectively a plant can resist diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms. Research in this field drives the development of more resilient crops by revealing how to strengthen or leverage natural immune pathways without relying solely on chemical interventions.
