poisonresistant
Poisonresistant refers to the ability of an organism, population, tissue, or system to withstand, detoxify, or rapidly eliminate toxic substances. This trait can arise in natural ecosystems or be introduced through selective breeding or genetic modification. Poison resistance is context-dependent and may apply to plant alkaloids, animal venoms, environmental toxins, or synthetic chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides.
In biological contexts, resistance to poisons commonly results from several mechanisms. Detoxification enzymes, including various cytochrome
Examples of poison resistance include pest populations evolving resistance to insecticides, weeds that survive herbicides, and
Resistance often involves trade-offs and may incur fitness costs in toxin-free environments. It can spread via
