Overview

Plant disease resistance is the ability of a plant to avoid damage, stunted growth and even death caused by pathogens or pests. This resistance is typically due to the plant’s natural defences, such as physical or chemical barriers, or its genetic makeup and ability to quickly respond to threats and stress. Plant disease resistance is an important factor in agriculture and crop production, as it can lead to increased yields, reduced costs and improved disease management. By utilizing disease resistant plants, farmers can reduce the use of chemical pesticides and fungicides, which can pose a risk to human health, the environment, and the sustainability of food production.
