What's Happening

Plants have evolved a two-layer innate immune system over 450 million years: Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI) as first line defense using surface receptors to detect microbial patterns, and Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI) as second line using intracellular NLR receptors to detect pathogen effectors

How to Fix It

  1. 1

    Ensure proper watering - let soil dry between waterings

  2. 2

    Provide adequate light for healthy photosynthesis

  3. 3

    Avoid physical damage to plant tissue

  4. 4

    Quarantine new plants to prevent pathogen introduction

How to Prevent It

Support plant immunity by maintaining healthy growing conditions - avoid overwatering which weakens cell walls and compromises immune response
