متن کاملSaponins versus plant fungal pathogens
The production of low-molecular-weight antimicrobial molecules within plants is one component of defense against pathogens. Among them, preformed antimicrobial compounds (phytoanticipins) are the first biochemical barriers against pathogens. Saponins (a group of phytoanticipins) are present constitutively in plants and play important roles in plant defense. A variety of biological roles have be...
