Plants are constantly exposed to would-be pathogens and pests, and thus have a
sophisticated immune system to ward off these threats, which otherwise can have …

Plants are sessile organisms that are under constant attack from microbes. They rely on both
preformed defenses, and their innate immune system to ward of the microbial pathogens …

The evolution of the plant immune response has culminated in a highly effective defense
system that is able to resist potential attack by microbial pathogens. The primary immune …
