Pathogenesis-related protein
| Definition | Protein induced in several plant species when they are infected by viruses, viroids, fungi or bacteria. The occurrence of these proteins is not pathogen-specific, but determined by the type of reaction of the host plant. They form a protective barrier against pathogens by collecting at infection sites and act to decrease susceptibility of plants. They may have anti-fungal or anti-bacterial activity. |
