Shibabrata Pattanayak Popular answer

I think that can be done by

1. Selective breeding of a species of plant towards desirable efficacy (as resistance to any disease etc.)

2.Genetic modification by introduction of some new genes in the plant by genetic engineering.

The brinjal and cotton of some varieties are added with genes of one soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (BT), but the success is controversial.

3.By some chemical means - as stated earlier.

I have no idea about plant vaccination.Only experts can explain that area.

I think the suggestions by Prof. Shibabrata are logically feasible. I utterly agree with his views.

By some chemicals such as Salicylic acid and some bio agents such as Trichoderma sp. and Bacillus subtilis for disease and B. thuringiensis for insects. anyway all these agents works as elicitors to induce resistance in both types ISR and SAR through SA pathway or JA and ET pathways finally go to inducing the genes resistance change it from turn off gene to turn on gene in host against different pathogens.

In addition to the submission of Dr. Shibabrata Pattanayak, RNA-Silencing based resistance could be a very powerful tool that can be used to generate disease and insect resistant plants.

Maher H.S. Al-Mohammad

When the plant is infected pathogen, the cell wall releases jasmonic acid, which is chemical message to the DNA in nucleus, DNA in this phase is transcripted to produce mRNA, which is going to cytoplasm where is translated in lysosomes to synthesis appropriate protein for resisting the pathogen.
