Fungal Invasion Enzymes and Their Inhibition

  • Chapter
Plant Relationships

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 5))

Abstract

The first lines of defense of a plant against phytopathogenic fungi are the external cuticle and the polysaccharide-rich cell wall (Fig. 1). The vast majority of fungi need to breach these barriers to gain access to the plant tissue, and, once inside the tissue, to degrade the cell wall components in order to sustain their growth and to complete the invasion process. It is generally accepted that the enzymatic arsenal of the fungus contributes, together with mechanical forces (Howard et al. 1991; Chap. 3, this Vol.), to the degradation of both cuticle and cell walls.
