Plants and their incredible immune system

As a human, the first step to take when being ill is to go for medication that could help. Yet one doesn't let their immune system work and help your body grow stronger. Knowing many mammal and reptiles also have such immune systems to prevent them from getting ill, the real question is; do plants have an immune system that works like humans? The answer is a definite yes. In fact, the research done by Dr. Graham from Ohio University showed tests he had done on plants that show the types of immune systems they carry. Yes, I just don't mean one, I mean multiple. Plants are known to have different methods to their immune system. 

When a mammal is attacked by bacteria and other organisms, the immune system remembers the type of bacteria that attacked and when it attacks again it will remember and kill it; but the immune of plants act in a much better and more remarkable way. When an organism is detected by the plants immune system it, not only remembers it and kills it later, but it also becomes immune to the organism that is harmful to the plant. As this is an amazing discovery, the reason it is important to look into is because, once the genes are established and are known really well the DNA of such plants can be transmitted to other plants such as crops to be immune from many bacteria that are known to kill them. The organization of this article makes it hard to contradict the facts that it is throwing at you. Giving you both sides  of this discovery by identifying certain types of microbes that once they grab a hold of the host it will start colonizing  rapidly and how is it possible for such immune system to attack that and actually be immune to it. When plants are being attacked the immune system is known to eject fluids out such as acidic liquids and start attacking it in that form. Some bacterium are known to eject plasmids into a plants cell which are known to black many counterattacks that the plants immune system feels to use. So how does it attack these types of bacteria? Well the answer will come in the future and it will be a discovery that will help our crops grow and give us the nutrients for survival.
