上海研究团队揭示植物受攻击时如何自卫 - 2020年08月25日
City team probes plant defense mechanisms
A Shanghai-based international research team has discovered how plants put up a fight against pathogens, offering new approaches to protect the natural world as well as new references to people’s anti-virus fight.
Plants live under different threats, including attacks by pathogens, which can sicken and even kill them, so they have evolved to develop a self-defense mechanism.
Plant proteins at the cell membrane can perceive the presence of potential attackers such as viruses, bacteria or fungus and trigger an alarm.
