Expression of the ginseng PgPR10-1 in Arabidopsis confers resistance against fungal and bacterial infection

► One of PR-10 homologs, PgPR10-1, is isolated from Korean ginseng. ► PgPR10 showed a distinct SNP and lower sized-band compared to the American ginseng. ► PgPR10-1 showed enhanced resistance against phytopathogen infection in Arabidopsis. ► PgPR10 protein was localized into the cytoplasm and nucleus, and formed physical interaction. ► Gene regulation of PgPR10s against sets of ginseng fungal stresses was also observed.
