    Expression and characteristics of rice xylanase inhibitor OsXIP, a member of a new class of antifungal proteins

    It has been hypothesized that xylanase inhibitors play important roles in plant defense against microbial pathogens. Currently, there is little information available about xylanase inhibitor OsXIP in rice and ...
