Sub-Lethal Effects of Partially Purified Protein Extracted from (Balsamo) and Its Presumptive Role in Tomato ( L.) Defense against Whitefly ( Genn.).

Plants rely on various physiological and molecular defense mechanisms against biotic stresses such as herbivore insects. Many entomopathogenic fungi synthesize protein molecules that can trigger these plant defenses. This laboratory study characterized the bioactivity of a partially purified protein derived from (ARSEF 2860) against whitefly, (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), which is an economically important pest of agricultural and horticultural crops worldwide.

A Novel Protein Elicitor PeBL2, from A60, Induces Systemic Resistance against in Tobacco Plant.

Here, we reported a novel secreted protein elicitor PeBL2 from A60, which can induce hypersensitive response in tobacco (). The ion-exchange chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry were performed for identification of protein elicitor. The 471 bp PeBL2 gene produces a 17.
