Immune Response in Plants
Plants, just like animals, have a sophisticated immune system that protects them from pathogens. However, the plant immune response differs from that of animals, as it relies on physical and chemical barriers, as well as specific responses triggered by pathogen detection. The immune response in plants can be classified into basal defense, which is the…

Pathogen Recognition and Innate Immunity
The excerpt delves into the crucial topics of pathogen recognition and innate immunity. It highlights the significance of the innate immune system as the first line of defense against invading pathogens, explaining the role of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) in detecting unique pathogen structures known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The innate immune response’s rapid…
