| Description: | Elicitins form a novel class of plant necrotic proteins which are secreted by Phytophthora and Pythium fungi, parasites of many economically important crops. These proteins induce leaf necrosis in infected plants and elicit an incompatible hypersensitive-like reaction, leading to the development of a systemic acquired resistance against a range of fungal and bacterial plant pathogens (PUBMED:8994969). |

| InterPro abstract: | Elicitins are small, highly-conserved proteins secreted by phytopathogenic fungi belonging to the phytophthora species [ PUBMED:7753775 ]. They are toxic proteins reponsible for inducing a necrotic and systemic hypersensitive response in plants from the solanaceae and cruciferae families. Leaf necrosis provides immediate … expand |
