Pathogen defense

Protection against pathogens Defensive response to invasion (e.g.. phytoalexins)... 

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is an extracellular plant enzyme that acts in regulation of cell growth and differentiation, polymerization of cell wall components, and the oxidation of secondary metabolites essential for important pathogenic defense reactions. Because of these essential functions, and also because of its stability and ready availability, HRP has attracted considerable attention.13 It has been involved in a number of applications, such as diagnostic assays,14 biosensors,15 bioremediation,16 polymer synthesis,17 and other biotechnological processes.18 More applications in which HRP catalysis is translated into an electrochemical signal are likely to be developed in the near future.
