(2007, background): “…hand, accumulation of 22 KDa protein (PR-5, Thaumatin-like proteins TLPs) in AM plus JA or SA-treated plants greatly exhibited antifungal activity against a variety of pathogenic fungi are postulated to play a role in enhanced plant disease resistance (Velazhahan & Muthukrishnan 2003 and 2004).”
