Structural and Evolutionary Analyses of PR-4 SUGARWINs Points to a Different Pattern of Protein Function

SUGARWINs are PR-4 proteins associated with sugarcane defense against phytopathogens. Their expression is induced in response to damage by Diatraea saccharalis larvae. These proteins play an important role in plant defense, in particular against fungal pathogens, such as Colletothricum falcatum (Wen...
