virus-resistance

2 articles

Virus resistance in plants refers to the genetic and molecular mechanisms that allow plants to detect, limit, or withstand infection by pathogenic viruses. Understanding and engineering these defenses is critical for crop protection, as viral diseases can devastate yields and reduce food security worldwide. Research in this area explores natural resistance genes, RNA silencing pathways, and biotechnological strategies to develop durable, broad-spectrum protection in cultivated plants.
