The dose response for elicitation of the hypersensitive reaction in potato tuber discs by arachidonic acid (AA) suggested saturation at higher concentrations. Glucans from Phytophthora infestans, inactive themselves as elicitors of the hypersensitive reaction, enhanced sesquiterpene accumulation and
Patatin is a family of glycoproteins that accounts for 30-40% of the total soluble protein in potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers. This protein has been reported not only to serve as a storage protein, but also to exhibit enzymic activity. By using a baculovirus system to express protein from the
