Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, chitinase and beta-1,3-glucanase were extracted from induced chickpea plant and purified by gel filtration. Time-course accumulation of these PR-proteins in induced chickpea plants was significantly (P = 0.05) higher than the control. Maximum activities of these PR-proteins were recorded after three days of inoculation in all induced plants. Thereafter, the activity decreased progressively. Two chitinases and three beta-1,3-glucanases were detected in induced- chickpea plants. The molecular mass of the purified chitinases was 31 and 62 kDa and beta-1,3-glucanases was 23, 27 and 39 kDa. Purified chitinases and beta-1,3-glucanases also inhibited growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and other phytopathogenic fungi.
