Chitinases are present in diverse form of organisms from bacteria, fungi, insects, plants.
Plant chitinases are part of pathogenesis-related proteins. When plant (host) cells are under …

Transcription factors of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family control important processes in
all eukaryotes. In plants, bZIPs are master regulators of many central developmental and …

Response to the gaseous plant hormone ethylene in Arabidopsis requires the EIN3/EIL
family of nuclear proteins. The biochemical function (s) of EIN3/EIL proteins, however, has …

We demonstrated that the GCC box, which is an 11-bp sequence (TAAGAGCCGCC)
conserved in the 5'upstream region of ethylene-inducible pathogenesis-related protein …

▪ Abstract The gaseous hormone ethylene induces diverse effects in plants throughout their
life cycle. Ethylene response is regulated at multiple levels, from hormone synthesis and …

Ethylene (C2H4), the chemically simplest plant hormone, is among the best-characterized
plant growth regulators. It participates in a variety of stress responses and developmental …

Ovules play a central role in plant reproduction, generating the female gametophyte within
sporophytic integuments. When fertilized, the integuments differentiate into the seed coat …

The phytohormone ethylene is a principal modulator in many aspects of plant life, including
various mechanisms by which plants react to pathogen attack. Induced ethylene …

Ethylene-responsive element-binding proteins (EREBPs) have novel DNA-binding domains
(ERF domains), which are widely conserved in plants, and interact specifically with …

Early events in the elicitation of plant defence responses are reviewed under the headings:
introduction; presentation and release of elicitors; recognition of elicitors: structurally defined …
