This review considers the main groups of hydrolytic enzymes associated with plant pathogens, as well as proteinaceous inhibitors of these enzymes, acting as the components of plant defense system. The role of hydrolases is described in the development of a pathological process in plant tissues. Significance of hydrolase inhibitors in the development of plant resistance to pathogens is analyzed. It is proposed that specific interactions in the “host plant–pathogen” system, involving hydrolytic enzymes and their proteinaceous inhibitors, depend on the nutritional specialization of fungi.
