Plant Immune System

Plant disease resistance protects plants from pathogens in two ways: by pre-formed structures and chemicals, and by the immune system. Disease resistance is the reduction of pathogen growth in or on the plant and the immune system produced by plant body help to fight against the diseases caused by the pathogens. So, to overcome the disease by detecting the pathogen and to detect the specific virulence proteins plants have launched various methods of immune systems which will have the potential to completely shut down the pathogen infection. This is a unique step acquired by plants to combat the pathogen threat.
