wound-healing
Wound-healing in plants refers to the biological mechanisms by which plants repair and regenerate tissue damage caused by injury or environmental stress. This is critical to plant science as it reveals how plants defend against pathogenic infection and recover from damage, directly affecting agricultural productivity and plant survival. Understanding these processes provides insights into plant physiology and resilience in facing various environmental challenges.
