Phytopathogenic microbes such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes pose significant threats to global food security by compromising plant health and reducing crop yields. Traditional methods of disease management often rely on the extensive use of chemical fungicides, which can have harmful effects on the environment and human health. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable strategies for enhancing plant resilience to phytopathogenic microbes. While most research has focused on plant responses to abiotic stresses, understanding of plant resilience to phytopathogenic microbes and host-pathogen interactions remains limited. Plants respond to these pathogens using multifarious and interlinked adaptive mechanisms. Understanding the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying plant defense responses and harnessing this knowledge for breeding programs holds great promise for sustainable agriculture.
