[An immunoregulatory effect of endoglucanase preparations on plant resistance to fungal infections]. / Immunoreguliruiushchee deistvie fermentnykh preparatov éndoglikanaz na ustoichivost' rastenii k gribnoi infektsii.

Effects of enzymatic preparations--pectomacerin, hemicellulase, and Trichoderma viride 13/10 cellulase--on the plant immunological status were studied by examples of the pathosystems carrot root-white rot agent (Sclerotinia libertiana) and carrot root-black rot agent (Rhizopus nigricans). It was demonstrated that these preparations reduced the damage of infections, namely, decreased the permeability of cell membranes in infected tissue and stimulated its defense responses, which manifested itself in a stable elevation in the content of phenolic compounds and formation of tissue protective barriers.
