Plants have sophisticated defense systems: They can share proteins, bait and trap pathogens

(Natural News) New research has revealed that specific plant proteins can identify signals linked to disease-causing agents using “baits” and trap them before they can affect a plant. The study, published in Genome Biology, looked at how “bait genes” are distributed in various wild and domestic grasses, as well as how they respond to protect the plant against a…
