Plant Defensive Proteins: Based on microarray and proteomic approaches, it has been demonstrated that a wide variety of PRPs is necessary for plants to be protected from insect attack. Numerous signaling pathways are activated as a result of the various feeding strategies of arthropods, resulting in the synthesis of JA, SA, and ET and influencing the arthropod-inducible proteins (Arimura et al., 2009).

8.6.5.2 Secondary Metabolites Of Sulfur

This group consists of phytoalexins, glycosphingolipids, thionins, allinins, and defensins, and so on, are used for the purpose of protecting them from microbial diseases (Halkier and Gershenzon, 2006):

GSH: An organic substance is glutathione (GSH). S is found in a variety of amino acids, including cysteine and methionine. It is also present in the soluble portion of GSH, which works as a transportable reservoir of S during growth and development settling. During times of stress, it also functions as an antioxidant in the cell by bolstering the plant’s defense mechanism. Particular cells, such as trichomes, demonstrated an enhanced synthesis of GSH synthesisrelated enzymes and a few other chemicals necessary for plants to defend themselves against heavy metal stress. The primary cellular regions of plants have been discovered to contain a concentration of GSH between 3 and 10 mM (Nocito et al., 2002).

Phytoalexins: Plants create phytoalexins during biotic stress to help inhibit the spread of infections by clumping together around the infection site; this appears to be a common strategy used by many plants to defend themselves against insect pests (Jeandet et al., 2013). Many variations are connected to a quick, appropriate response that kills plants. This response is known as a hypersensitive response. Many families of plants produce phytoalexins of an organic nature, such as isoflavonoids in the Leguminosae and sesquiterpenoids in the Solanaceae, but only the Crucifereae produces the S metabolites that set it apart from the other GSL chemicals. Cruciferous crops are crucial because they contain a lot of phytoalexins, is a feature of this family (Monde et al., 2003). They also have a role in pest defense, for an example of this is the production of derivatives of furano-acetylenic following a pest attack on Vicia fava (Soylu et al., 2002).

Defensins, Thionins, and Lectins: Under biotic stress, proteins rich in defensins, thionins, and lectins are generated; the majority of these proteins protect plants from fungal infection. In addition, infections partially stimulate the genes for defensins (Gu et al., 2002).
