Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), or host defence peptides, are short proteins in various life
forms. Here we discuss AMPs, which may become a promising substitute or adjuvant in …

Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a component of barrier defense system of plants.
They have been isolated from roots, seeds, flowers, stems, and leaves of a wide variety of …

Plant non-specific lipid-transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins present in
abundance in higher plants. They are involved in key processes of plant cytology, such as …

Antimicrobial peptides are a vital component of the innate immune system of all eukaryotic
organisms and many of these peptides have potent antifungal activity. They have potential …

Nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are small, cysteine‐rich proteins that play
numerous functional roles in plant growth and development, including cutin wax formation …

The global challenge to prevent fungal spoilage and mycotoxin contamination on food and
feed requires the development of new antifungal strategies. Antimicrobial peptides and …

Among a variety of molecular factors of the plant innate immune system, small proteins that
transfer lipids and exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities are of particular interest …

Background Food spoilage is caused by the undesirable growth of spoilage microorganisms
in food products. This spoilage can lead to the global loss and waste of food. It is estimated …
