Chitinases catalyze the degradation of chitin, a ubiquitous polymer generated from the cell
walls of fungi, shells of crustaceans, and cuticles of insects. They are gaining increasing …

Crop plants have evolved an array of mechanisms to counter biotic and abiotic stresses.
Many pathogenesis-related proteins are expressed by plants during the attack of pathogens …

Providing comprehensive coverage of the biological activities and industrial applications of
Chitin, Chitosan, oligosaccharides, and their derivatives, this book presents a balance of …

Plants have developed many mechanisms to protect themselves against most potential
microbial pathogens and diseases. Pathogenesis-related proteins are produced as a part of …

In this present study, a gene (ent-B) encoding the bacteriocin enterocin-B was cloned,
overexpressed and purified from Enterococcus faecium por1. The molecular weight of the …

Chitinases are pathogensis-related proteins, which play an important role in plant defense
mechanisms. The role of the sugarcane chitinase family genes remains unclear due to the …

Large-scale application of chemical pesticides and insecticides over the years have led to
resistance to these chemicals, along with a reduction in crop yield, increase in production …

Main conclusion Carbohydrates are hydrolyzed by a family of carbohydrate-active enzymes
(CAZymes) called glycosidases or glycosyl hydrolases. Here, we have summarized the roles …

Plant polyphenols receive significant attention due to their anti-oxidative and health-
promoting properties, and several microorganisms are currently engineered towards …

Two pathogenesis-related (PR) protein genes consisting of a barley chitinase (chi-2) and a
wheat lipid-transfer-protein (ltp) were introduced singly and in combination into carrot plants …
