The role of PR-5 genes in mediating resistance to Phytophthora infestans and abiotic stress tolerance in potato

Key Points

• PR-5 genes mediate resistance against Phytophthora infestans, enhancing potato crop resilience.
• Key evidence indicates a significant increase in resistance markers when PR-5 genes are activated.
• Analysis of genetic expression patterns shows a strong correlation with abiotic stress tolerance in potato plants.
• This highlights the potential for inducing PR-5 gene activity to improve agricultural outcomes under diverse environmental conditions.
