The synthesis and possible functions of virus-induced proteins in plants
1Department of Biochemistry, Leiden University, The Netherlands.
Abstract:
Plants reacting hypersensitively to virus infection accumulate proteins that exert their activity in the cytoplasm, the cell wall or the intercellular space of the leaf. The function of a number of these proteins is described and the expression and structure of genes encoding the extracellular proteins is discussed.
