Subtilisin-like proteases in plant pathogen recognition and immune priming: a perspective

Subtilisin-like proteases (subtilases) are serine proteases that fulfil highly specific functions in plant development and signaling cascades. Over the last decades, it has been shown that several subtilases are specifically induced following pathogen infection and very recently an Arabidopsis subti...
