Abstract excerpt
Elicitins, produced by most of the phytopathogenic fungi of the genus Phytophthora, provoke in the tobacco plant both remote leaf necrosis and the induction of a resistance against subsequent attack by various micro-organisms. The crystal structure of b-cryptogein (CRY), secreted by Phytophthora cryptogea, was previously reported as well as the first structure of a SCP/sterol complex, the ergosterol-complexed,...
