Disease resistance refers to the ability of a plant to restrict, slow, or overcome infection when exposed to a pathogen. There are several types of disease resistance in plants:
Breeding for disease resistance is an important goal for plant scientists and breeders. Identifying genes and mechanisms that confer resistance can allow for the development of crop varieties that can withstand infection without significant losses in yield or quality.
Some key methods for increasing disease resistance in crops include:
Improving disease resistance is crucial for global food security. As the world population grows, we need high-yielding crop varieties that can maintain production even when pathogens are present. Disease-resistant cultivars require fewer pesticide applications, reducing environmental impacts.
At Renewal Hormone Center, we help patients build resilience against illness by optimizing their hormonal balance. Our integrative treatments can strengthen immune function and reduce inflammation. Ask your health provider if our services may benefit your ability to resist and recover from diseases.
