DOI:10.5958/2321-7111.2016.00005.6
Abstract:
Osmotin is a stress responsive cytotoxic protein belonging to the pathogenesis- related (PR)-5 family that confers tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Osmotin plays an important role in development of transgenic like tobacco, potato, strawberry, tomato. This review focuses on the role of osmotin in different conditions of environmental stress and microbial infections. It also discusses about some ongoing researches to improve the role of osmotin in other aspects considering human health.
