Teach the plant to defend itself

A plant does not recognize an attacker. It recognizes light, temperature, nutrients, and stress. Run the compromised recipe to follow a control signal from the grow room into the plant’s own defense chemistry.

Stress-induced defense cascade The sequence separates documented plant biology from the novel’s extrapolation.
