Discovery of mobile disease detectors in plants could boost crop resilience - My Droll

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A study of how plants identify and react to invading pathogens using mobile disease detectors could help researchers breed disease-resistant crops. Many important crop plants can be devastated by pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Knowing exactly how some plants respond could give researchers the information to breed crops with the […]
