In this study an antifungal protein from Urginea indica bulbs was purified to homogeneity by acid precipitation, Diol 300 Gel-filtration, and C(18) reverse phase HPLC. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 29 kDa and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining showed that identified antifungal molecule is
We have identified a chitinase with antifungal activity in the bulbs of the plant Urginea indica(Indian squill) and purified it about 26-fold. The purified preparation contained a Mr 29 kDa protein that was an active growth inhibitor of the fungal pathogens Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani
