Plant defense systems activate inducible chemistry in response to stress.

These adaptive mechanisms offer conceptual insights into resilience biology and healthy aging frameworks.

FAQ:

What are plant defense systems?

Stress-induced biochemical responses in plants.

Why study plants for aging research?
