Defense-related Proteins from Chelidonium majus L. as Important Components of its Latex

Abstract

This review covers pathogenesis- and defense-related proteins from the latex-bearing medicinal plant Chelidonium majus (Papaveraceae) in the context of latex activity, function, pharmacological activities and antiviral medicinal use. The latex-borne defense system is hypothesized to constitute a preformed immediate defense response against viral and non-viral pathogens, relevant to celandine's traditional antiviral (wart) use.
