Abstract
In response to fungal invasion and other signals, plants accumulate a number of proteins that are involved in defense against pathogens. Osmotin is a 24 kDa protein belonging to the pathogenesis-related (PR) protein, a component of the hypersensitive response in leaves of tobacco plants exposed to tobacco mosaic virus.(omitted)
