Plants' immune memory hints at new crop breeding approach
A study published in Nature Communications, led by professor Jurriaan Ton and Dr. Adam Hannan Parker at the University of Sheffield, has identified mechanisms by which plants maintain and reset stress memory from past infections. This immune memory enables plants to defend themselves more effectively against harmful bacteria and mildews, which are increasingly threatening our crop and food production.

该研究用XVE:ROS1工具可控诱导植物免疫记忆,并发现其可部分跨代传递至水稻后代;但跨代稳定性与田间抗性效果仍需进一步验证,尚不能直接用于生产。
