plant-pathogen

3 articles

Plant-pathogen interactions encompass the study of how infectious agents — including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes — invade and cause disease in plants. Understanding these interactions is fundamental to plant science because pathogens can devastate crops, disrupt ecosystems, and trigger plant immune responses that researchers study to develop more resilient varieties. Advances in this field drive innovations in sustainable agriculture by revealing the molecular mechanisms plants use to detect, resist, and recover from infection.
