Latest Developments in Plant Immunity
The study of plant immunity, also known as plant defense, covers the complex mechanisms by which plants recognize and respond to pathogens, thereby safeguarding their health and ensuring survival. This interdisciplinary field integrates genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and ecology. Sub-branches within plant immunity include innate immunity, which involves pre-existing defense mechanisms, and adaptive immunity, which entails specific responses tailored to particular pathogens. Notably, innate immunity involves Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) that detect conserved microbial patterns, while adaptive immunity relies on Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI), mediated by resistance (R) proteins recognizing pathogen effectors. Recent advancements in plant immunity research have revealed new components and signaling pathways involved in defense responses. Moreover, cutting-edge technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing and high-throughput sequencing have revolutionized the study of plant-pathogen interactions. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to plant immunity. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. Those in search of information to further their knowledge on latest developments in plant immunity will be greatly assisted by this book.
