Disease resistance

What is disease resistance?

Disease resistance refers to the ability of a plant to restrict, slow down, or overcome the effects of a pathogen or disease. There are several types of disease resistance in plants:

Disease resistance is crucial for food security as it allows crops to withstand infections by fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens that would otherwise cause major yield losses. There are several ways disease resistance is achieved in plants:

Breeding crops with improved disease resistance involves identifying and introducing R genes from wild relatives. Genome editing tools like CRISPR can also insert resistance genes more precisely. Managing crop rotations, seed treatments and biopesticides also helps prevent disease outbreaks.
