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 …

Sucrose is the main form of assimilated carbon which is produced during photosynthesis
and then transported from source to sink tissues via the phloem. This disaccharide is known …

Fungi are amazing organisms, being able to use almost any surface (eg, bathroom tile, skin,
or leaves) for growth. Unfortunately, they also are proficient at colonizing and using plants …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of naturally occurring plant steroidal compounds with
wide-ranging biological activity that offer the unique possibility of increasing crop yields …

The bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans shows remarkable resistance to a range of
damage caused by ionizing radiation, desiccation, UV radiation, oxidizing agents, and …

The cysteine-rich secretory proteins, antigen 5, and pathogenesis-related 1 proteins (CAP)
superfamily members are found in a remarkable range of organisms spanning each of the …

Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) are the products of a large, highly complex gene family
involved in host defence and a wide range of developmental processes in fungi, plants, and …

Pathogenesis related (PR) proteins are one of the major sources of plant derived allergens.
These proteins are induced by the plants as a defense response system in stress conditions …

It is becoming increasingly evident that a plant–pathogen interaction may be compared to an
open warfare, whose major weapons are proteins synthesized by both organisms. These …
