Role of Enzymes in Plant Disease Development! Plasma Membrane bound Proteases in Roots: Plant proteases participate in different physiological processes. By unlimited proteolysis, amino acids are recycled for protein synthesis. Defective proteins are removed and metabolism is regulated by inactivation and degradation of definite proteins. By limited proteolysis, proteases regulate activity of enzymes and presence of structural proteins in a [...]

In this article we will discuss about how do plants protect and defend themselves from pathogens and diseases. Introduction to Pathogens: Once a pathogen has arrived in the vicinity of a potential host plant or, as may happen in the case of soil-borne pathogens, a plant root has arrived in the vicinity of a pathogen, subsequent events depend on the [...]
