Description | Protein involved in plant defense, either as part of preexisting, developmentally regulated defense barriers (such as thionins, defensins or hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins fortifying the cell wall) or as components of the defense responses induced upon pathogen infection during hypersensitive cell death (HR), local acquired resistance (LAR) or systemic acquired resistance (SAR). This includes proteins involved in various pathways, such as the gene-for-gene resistance, the salicylic acid (SA)-dependant resistance, the jasmonate (JA) and/or ethylene (ET)-dependant resistance and the induced systemic resistance (ISR), as well as the final products of those pathways such as the pathogenesis-related proteins |
