This review will focus on the interaction between PAMPs and phagocyte PRRs in the pathogenesis of fungal infections. 

In addition to the proteins mentioned above, there have been many reports of the induction of pathogenesis-related proteins (PRPs) in a number of plant species infected by viruses, viroids, bacteria or fungi (Van Loon, 1985). It has been shown that in cultured parsley cells, increased transcription of two PRP genes occurs within a few minutes of exposure to fungal elicitors (Somssich et al., 1986). Although several PRPs from tobacco have been purified and their cDNAs isolated (Hooft van Huijsduij-nen. Van Loon Bol, 1986), the exact action of these proteins remains unclear.
