Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxic N-glycosidases that depurinate eukaryotic
and prokaryotic rRNAs, thereby arresting protein synthesis during translation. RIPs are …

Cerato‐platanin proteins (CP s), which are secreted by filamentous fungi, are phytotoxic to
host plants, but their functions have not been well defined to date. Here we characterized a …

Fungal pathogens continue to pose a significant threat to crop production and food supply.
The early stages of plant–fungus interactions are mostly mediated by microbe‐associated …

Pathogenesis‐related proteins played a pioneering role 50 years ago in the discovery of
plant innate immunity as a set of proteins that accumulated upon pathogen challenge. The …

Systemic resistance is induced by pathogens and confers protection against a broad range
of pathogens. Recent studies have indicated that salicylic acid (SA) derivative methyl …

Pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) are the antimicrobial proteins which are commonly
used as signatures of defense signaling pathways and systemic acquired resistance …

Abstract Alpha-momorcharin (α-MMC) is type-1 ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) with
molecular weight of 29 kDa and has lots of biological activity. Our recent study indicated that …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate protein-coding gene
expression primarily found in plants and animals. Fungi produce microRNA-like RNAs …

The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stål, is one of the major pests of rice. It
uses its stylet to penetrate rice phloem, feeding on rice sap and causing direct damage to …

Abstract Alpha‐momorcharin (α‐MMC), a member of the plant ribosomal inactivating
proteins (RIPs) family, has been proven to exhibit important biological properties in animals …
