Study reveals key functions of quantitative immunity

Study reveals key functions of quantitative immunity

In order to limit the use of pesticides, it is crucial to control the resistance of plants to diseases. To achieve this, the first step is to understand their immune response. Of all the forms of immunity found in plants, quantitative resistance is the most common, but it is also particularly complex. Recently, a research team from LIPME (UMR CNRS / INRAE 2594/441), with the help of iMEAN (launched with the support of the LabEx TULIP), was able to understand some of the mechanisms at work behind this precise immunity.

In July 2020, the article published in the journal PNAS was the subject of an article on the INRAE website, entitled “Résistance des plantes face aux maladies : une forme majeure de leur système immunitaire décryptée” (Resistance of plants to disease: a major form of their immune system deciphered)". Read the article (French only).
