植物也会生病。事实上，它们会被各种微生物和小生物感染。但是植物已经进化出一种有效的免疫系统来抵抗病原体的入侵。令人惊讶的是，几乎每一个植物细胞都能够保护自己和周围的细胞免受感染。当植物的许多免疫受体中的一个与病原体中的配体匹配时，植物的免疫系统就会启动。由于抵抗病原体的漫长进化历史，免疫受体现在由数百个基因编码，这些基因占据了大多数植物基因组。了解植物免疫系统如何运作以及它是如何进化的，可以为现代农业提供宝贵的见解，并有助于培育抗病作物。
Plants can get sick too. In fact, they get infected by all types of microbes and little critters. But plants have evolved an effective immune system to fight off pathogen invasion. Amazingly, nearly every single plant cell is able to protect itself and its neighbours against infections. The plant immune system gets switched on when one of its many immune receptors matches a ligand in the pathogen. As a consequence of a long evolutionary history of fighting off pathogens, immune receptors are now encoded by hundreds of genes that populate the majority of plant genomes. Understanding how the plant immune system functions and how it has evolved can give invaluable insights that would benefit modern agriculture and help breeding disease-resistant crops.
