Much research has been focused on the isolation, characterization, and regulation of expression of pathogenesis-related proteins since the discovery that several of the PR-proteins had antimicrobial or insecticidal activity and can delay the progression of diseases caused by several pathogens belonging to diverse genera. Pathogenesis-Related Proteins in Plants analyzes the practical aspects of employing PR-proteins for plant protection in a possible role as the first or last line of defense against pathogens and pests.

Much research has been focused on the isolation, characterization, and regulation of expression of pathogenesis-related proteins since the discovery that several of the PR-proteins had antimicrobial or insecticidal activity and can delay the progression of diseases caused by several pathogens belonging to diverse genera. Pathogenesis-Related Proteins in Plants analyzes the practical aspects of employing PR-proteins for plant protection in a possible role as the first or last line of defense against pathogens and pests. In addition, PR-proteins expressed in apparently healthy tissues during normal plant growth may have additional unsuspected roles in morphogenesis or in symbiosis. This is the first in-depth look at PR-proteins in plants.
