Advancements in Plant Immunity and Signaling Pathways

Abstract

Plant immunity plays a pivotal role in defending against biotic stresses, including pathogens and pests. Recent advancements in our understanding of plant immune mechanisms and their signaling pathways have revealed complex networks that facilitate these responses. This review highlights key components of plant immunity, including pattern recognition receptors, hormonal signaling, and recent technological advancements such as genome editing and omics approaches. Understanding these pathways is essential for enhancing crop resilience and productivity in the face of emerging agricultural challenges.
