Pathogens are organisms which infect the plant and cause disease like species of bacteria, fungi, insects and viruses. Plants have a vascular system with a thick cuticle and a layer of epidermis which is impermeable to many pathogens. They also have a defense system of secreting chemicals which prevent the growth of the infection caused by these micro-organisms.
