Abstract: Plants up the anti An understanding of the immune system of plants is important for progress in agriculture and pest control. Lacking the mobile defender cells and adaptive immune response found in mammals, plants rely on the innate immunity of each cell and on signals sent around the plant from infection sites. Jonathan Jones and Jeffery Dangl review current models of plant defences, and identify some of the remaining unknowns, including the mechanism used to arrest growth in pathogens.
