Plants lack an adaptive immune system — a powerful system capable of detecting practically any foreign molecule — and instead rely on a more general immune system.
Unfortunately, pathogens can rapidly evolve new ways to avoid detection, resulting in colossal crop loss.
Using a rice plant as a model, scientists have bioengineered a hybrid molecule — by fusing components from an animal's adaptive immune system with those of a plant's innate immune system — that protects it from a pathogen.Â
