“…The PR4 protein genes identified for the first time were named win-1 and win-2, which are tandemly located on the potato genome and encode two wound-inducible proteins with high homology to each other (Stanford et al, 1989). Since then, a number of PR4 protein genes have been identified from different plant species such as tomato, tobacco, Arabidopsis, Chinese cabbage, wheat, Capsicum chinense, and maize (Linthorst et al, 1991;Caruso et al, 1993;Potter et al, 1993;Bravo et al, 2003;Park et al, 2005;Guevara-Morato et al, 2010).…”
