otruvzdorných

Otrúvzdorných is a Czech term that translates to "poison-resistant" or "toxin-resistant" in English. It describes organisms, particularly plants, that possess an inherent ability to withstand or neutralize toxic substances. This resistance can be a crucial survival mechanism in environments where toxins are present, whether naturally occurring or introduced.

Plants exhibit otruvzdorných traits through various physiological and biochemical adaptations. These can include mechanisms for sequestering toxins within specific tissues, metabolizing them into less harmful compounds, or even actively pumping them out of their cells. Genetic mutations can play a significant role in developing this resistance, allowing certain individuals within a population to thrive where others perish.

The study of otruvzdorných plants has implications for agriculture, particularly in understanding and managing herbicide resistance in weeds. It also holds potential for bioremediation, where these plants could be utilized to clean up contaminated soils and water by absorbing or breaking down pollutants. Understanding the genetic and molecular basis of otruvzdorných traits can inform breeding programs aimed at developing more resilient crops and identifying novel compounds for pest control.
