Identification of cotton pr-proteins exhibiting 1,3-β-glucanase and chitinase activity

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

The biosynthesis and spectrum of PR-proteins isolated from leaves of eight cotton varieties that were affected by Verticillium dahliae were studied. It was shown that 1,3-β-glucanase, chitinase, and catalase activity increased in response to the pathogen. 1,3-β-Glucanase, three of its isoforms, and chitinase were isolated.
