Overview
Research explores methods to bolster plant immunity against pathogenic threats, drawing a parallel to human immune system enhancement. Plant pathogens contribute to significant crop losses, impacting global food security. The investigation centers on identifying and utilizing mechanisms to improve plant defenses.
Research Context
Plant pathogens cause the loss of up to 40% of global food crops annually. Such losses carry severe implications for food security worldwide. The objective is to develop strategies to strengthen plant immune systems, making them more resilient to or capable of fending off biological threats, akin to how human immune systems are fortified against illnesses.
