Definition protein induced in several plant species when they are infected by viruses, viroids, fungi or bacteria Reference "UniProt. Keyword - Pathogenesis-related protein (KW-0568) (29.3.2019)"
Comment The occurrence of these proteins is not pathogen-specific, but determined by the type of reaction of the host plant. They form a protective barrier against pathogens by collecting at infection sites and act to decrease susceptibility of plants. They may have anti-fungal or anti-bacterial activity.
