| Summary |
Since the discovery that several of the PR-proteins had antimicrobial or insecticidal activity and can delay the progression of diseases caused by several pathogens belonging to diverse genera, research has been focused on the isolation, characterization, and regulation of expression of pathogenesis-related proteins. Pathogenesis-Related Proteins in Plants analyzes the practical aspects of employing PR-proteins for plant protection in a possible role as the first or last line of defense against pathogens and pests. In addition, PR-proteins expressed in apparently healthy tissues during normal plant growth such as seed development and flowering may have additional unsuspected roles in morphogenesis or in symbiosis |
