“We managed to decipher the molecular connectionbetween gene product and acid inactivation during normal plant growth, ”explains Prof. Ivo Feussner of the Göttingen Center for Molecular Biological Sciences (GZMB). Understanding this interaction provides scientists with a promising approach to increasing the natural resilience of crops. Research results, for example, can be used to help breeders isolate less susceptible plants. This will improve food security and reduce the use of pesticides.
