In incompatible host-pathogen interactions, damage caused by the pathogen remains
restricted as a result of the plant's defensive response. Most effective is the hypersensitive …

Plant growth and development is often challenged by several abiotic and biotic stresses,
such as drought, cold, salinity, wounding, heavy metals, and pathogen attacks, respectively …

Proteins encoded by the host plant induced under pathological or related conditions are
termed pathogenesis-related proteins. These proteins display high-degree of pathogen …

The pathogenesis-related (PR) or b-proteins of plants are a group of host-encoded,
inducible proteins whose synthesis is often associated with certain forms of resistance to …

Inducible defense-related proteins have been described in many plant species upon
infection with oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, or viruses, or insect attack. Several types of …

An overview of the evolution of knowledge on the nomenclature, classification, induction,
occurrence, functions, and role of pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) is presented …

Infection of plants with pathogens like viruses or fungi often leads to a response of the host
ranging from very mild to very severe. A very mild response usually does not result in …

A great deal of research has been focused on the isolation, characterization, and regulation
of expression of pathogenesis-related proteins since the discovery that several of the PR …

The hypersensitive reaction to a pathogen is one of the most efficient defense mechanisms
in nature and leads to the induction of numerous plant genes encoding defense proteins …

Throughout evolution, plants have developed a highly complex defense system against
different threats, including phytopathogens. Plant defense depends on constitutive and …
