Plants have a resistance against pesticides
The scientists said the
immune systems of plants are protected from harmful
agricultural pests, but if his reaction was excessive it may hamper their growth and thereby reducing production.
The site of "Science Daily" that the
researchers at the University of "Missouri" identified the factors that regulate the negative reactions of the immune system in the plant, "Arabidopsis thaliana", pointing out that the understanding of the way in which the immune system at the plant will allow farmers to produce better crops.
"Dr. Walter Gassman, Assistant Professor in Plant Sciences at the University of Missouri," The immune system provides strong protection for plants from disease" is adding that the reaction of the immune system may be overly harmful to the plants to be strongly controlled.
He said also, that one of the ways in which plants can protect themselves from harmful agricultural pests is through the identification of proteins that attack and the adverse affect on the immune system to it.
The researchers have identified specific genetic components of a negative impact on the immune system and prevent them from growing, pointing out that "it will allow us to be able to resist the development of plants in a sustainable agricultural epidemics."
