Description | This family of proteins includes developmentally regulated cell wall proteins, primarily from plants, which are rich in proline residues. Members of this family are involved in various stages of plant development and interactions with symbiotic organisms. Some proteins are implicated in the modification of cell-wall structure, which may be crucial during processes such as seed germination and root nodule development. Others are associated with the plant's response to symbiotic bacteria, playing roles in the infection process and the establishment of nitrogen-fixing nodules. The diversity of functions reflects the importance of these proteins in plant growth and adaptation to environmental interactions. | Name | Plant Proline-Rich Cell Wall Protein |
