Ep.144 Plant immunity & biological defense - Katia Hougaard (Katie Plant Scientist)

It's time to learn about how plants defend themselves! This episode will give you a peek under the hood so that you can understand why plants behave the way they do in the face of biotic and abiotic sources of stress.

We talk about how plants defend against sucking and chewing insects, including releasing chemicals that make them less appetising and even call in predatory friends to eat their aggressors, as well as how they buckle down and survive harsh environmental conditions like temperature and nutrient deficiencies.
