Isoforms of cysteine peptidases and osmotins instead of chitinases and peptidase inhibitors drive antifungal activity but occur as distinct isoforms in latex and callus tissues of Calotropis procera

MAIN CONCLUSION: Peptidases and osmotins are the primary determinants of antifungal activity, and their expression is tightly linked to tissue specialization in Calotropis procera plants. This study investigated whether callus cultures of two Apocynaceae species, Calotropis proce...
