Polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein 2 of Phaseolus vulgaris inhibits BcPG1, a polygalacturonase of Botrytis cinerea important for pathogenicity, and protects transgenic plants from infection
2005-08-01
Abstract excerpt
The genome of the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea encodes at least six endopolygalacturonases; among them BcPG1 is constitutively expressed and is required for full virulence. To counteract fungal polygalacturonase, plants have evolved families of polygalacturonases-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) with specific recognition capabilities against PGs from different fungal species. However, it is not clear whether PG...
