Disease resistance refers to the ability of a plant or animal to limit or avoid disease infection and damage from pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi. There are two main types of disease resistance:
Plants and animals have evolved various forms of disease resistance over time through natural selection. Understanding these resistance mechanisms is key for plant and animal breeders looking to develop resistant varieties of crops, livestock. This can improve agricultural productivity and sustainability.
