Plants are constantly exposed to numerous diverse microbes and pests. They lack an adaptive immune system and rely on innate immunity to perceive and ward off potential pathogens. The plant immune system enables plants to overcome invading microorganisms, and can be defined as highly successful in this regard. Nevertheless, specialized pathogens are able to overcome structural barriers, preformed defenses, innate immunity and are a persistent threat to crop and food supplies worldwide. The rapidly growing world population results in massive demands for agricultural products and reliable crop yields. Therefore, the ability to precisely manipulate plant immunity to resist diverse diseases holds significant promise for enhancing crop production.
植物不断接触到众多不同的微生物和害虫。它们缺乏适应性免疫系统，依靠先天免疫来感知和抵御潜在病原体。植物免疫系统使植物能够战胜入侵的微生物，在这方面可以说是非常成功的。然而，专门的病原体能够突破结构屏障、预先形成的防御和先天免疫，对全球农作物和粮食供应构成持续威胁。世界人口的快速增长导致对农产品和可靠作物产量的巨大需求。因此，精确调控植物免疫以抵抗多种病害的能力对于提高作物产量具有重大前景。
