Introduction to Plant Immunity Plant immunity is an intricate defense system that enables plants to recognize and respond to various pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It comprises different layers of responses, primarily categorized into two major types: Pathogen-Triggered Immunity (PTI) and Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI). PTI is the first line of defense that plants utilize … Read more
