Resumo(s)
Phytophthora species are the causal agents of many serious plant diseases. They secrete large amounts of elicitins, a group of unique highly conserved proteins that are able to induce hypersensitive response (HR) and enhance plant defense responses in a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) manner against infection by different pathogens.
Phytophthora cinnamomi, one of the most destructive species of Phytophthora genus is the causal agent of Castanea sativa ink disease, and has been associated with the decline of several forest, ornamental and fruit trees and shrubs, causing enormous economic losses worldwide.
We briefly describe some of the proteins involved in P. cinnamomi infection mechanisms: a transglutaminase (TGase, induction of defense responses and disease-like symptoms), a glucanase inhibitor protein (GIP, causing suppression of host defense responses) and a necrosis-inducing protein 1 (NPP1).
