7 Main Factors affected by Parasites | Plant Physiology

The following points highlight the seven main factors affected by parasites. The factors are: 1. Respiration 2. Photosynthesis 3. Nitrogen Metabolism 4. Translocation 5. Growth Substances 6. Responses to Environments 7. Host-Parasite Interaction. Factor # 1. Respiration: As a consequence of infection, the respiration increases many times in the host tissue. This increase may be due to parasite tissue as [...]
