PLTPs are pan-allergens, [11] [12] and may be directly responsible for cases of food allergy. Pru p 3, the major allergen from peach, is a 9-kDa allergen belonging to the family of lipid-transfer proteins. [13] Allergic properties are closely linked with high thermal stability and resistance to gastrointestinal proteolysis of the proteins. [14]
Many proteins found in wine are grape pathogen-related proteins. [4] Those include thaumatin-like proteins and chitinases. Many pathogenesis-related protein families also coincide with groups of human allergens, even though the allergy may have nothing to do with the defense function of the proteins. [5]
Signaling peptides include members of the following protein families. Systemin — is a small polypeptide functioning as a long-distance signal to activate chemical defenses against herbivores. It was the first plant hormone proven to be a peptide. Systemin induces the production of protein defense compound called protease inhibitors.

The R protein may detect a Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern or PAMP (alternatively called MAMP for microbe-associated molecular pattern). The R protein encodes enzyme that degrades a toxin produced by a pathogen. Once the R protein has detected the presence of a pathogen, the plant can mount a defence against the pathogen.
This latter twist is an artifact of the Goldwater-Nichols Defense Act, which updated Title 10 joint chiefs functions to bring the services more into alignment and streamline the chain of command ...
In plants, carotenoids can occur in roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Carotenoids have two important functions in plants. First, they can contribute to photosynthesis. They do this by transferring some of the light energy they absorb to chlorophylls, which then uses this energy for photosynthesis. Second, they can protect plants which ...
