Sunflower polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (HaPGIP) are genetically conserved in cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) but diverse in wild species

Abstract excerpt
Cultivation of sunflower is often associated with substantial pathogen-related yield losses. Natural defense mechanisms of plants might be improved by advantageous combination of genes encoding proteins that suppress important pathogenicity factors. Endopolygalacturonases (endoPGs) as cell-wall-degrading enzymes contribute to the virulence of fungi, bacterial pathogens, and oomycetes. However, plants have evolved...
