Innate immunity: Plants just say NO to pathogens
Jeff Dangl1
Every home gardener can attest to the voracity of plant pathogens, but less well-known are the specific mechanisms that plants deploy to resist such fungal, bacterial, viral and nematode infections. Chief among these is the plant 'innate immune system', which is largely based on the specific recognition of pathogen-encoded molecules through probable receptors encoded by disease-resistance (R) genes 1.
