KLH-conjugated peptide derived from Arabidopsis thaliana C-terminal of PROPEP1, UniProt: Q9LV87-1, TAIR: At5g64900 The peptide has 84 % homology to PROPE2.
PROPEP1 (cleaved and matured) act as elicitor of plant defense. Induces the production of plant defensin (PDF1.2) and of hydrogen peroxide (components of the innate immune response), which promote resistance to the root fungal pathogen P.irregulare.
