Plant receptors that regulate growth, immunity have common origin: Study
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
As in animals, plants have immune responses that help them defend against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells
