Functional analysis of a pathogenesis-related thaumatin-like protein gene TaLr35PR5 from wheat induced by leaf rust fungus

Abstract Background Plants have evolved Wovens multifaceted defence mechanisms to resist pathogen infection.Production of the pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins in response to pathogen attack has been implicated in plant disease resistance specialized in systemic-acquired resistance (SAR).Our earlier studies have reported that a full length TaLr35P
