Lesion mimic mutants (LMMs) are valuable genetic resources for unraveling plant defense
responses including programmed cell death. Here, we identified a rice (Oryza sativa) LMM …

Vegetables of the Allium genus are prone to infection by Fusarium fungi. Chitinases of the
GH19 family are pathogenesis-related proteins inhibiting fungal growth through the …

GH19 (glycoside hydrolase 19) chitinases play crucial roles in the enzymatic conversion of
chitin and biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi. Herein, a novel multifunctional chitinase of …

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia expresses a type IV protein secretion system (T4SS) that
promotes contact-dependent killing of other bacteria and does so partly by secreting the …

Background The CBM13 family comprises carbohydrate-binding modules that occur mainly
in enzymes and in several ricin-B lectins. The ricin-B lectin domain resembles the CBM13 …

Materials and Methods: Cytotoxicity of Simarouba glauca was assessed in the leaf extract of
petroleum ether against leukemic cells by MTT assay. To detect the apoptotic features …

Chitin is an important component of shrimp shell waste, the by-product of shrimp aquatic
product processing. However, it is difficult to degrade chitin and shrimp shell because of …

Background: The leaves of Simarouba glauca (S. glauca) have been used as a potential
source of anticancer agents in traditional medicine. Attempts have been made to isolate …

Root rot severely affects Panax notoginseng, and an important causual pathogen is
Fusarium solani. The pathogenesis-related proteins, including chitinase, are important for …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are protein residues that are components of the innate host
defense system of many organisms including plants. They are categorized into different …
