Preservative agents are required to ensure that manufactured foods remain safe and
unspoiled. In this review, we will discuss the mode of action of both chemical and biological …

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 …

Plant food allergens belong to a rather limited number of protein families and are also
characterized by a number of biochemical and physicochemical properties, many of which …

Flaxseed proteins are potent multi-functional ingredients for food formulation owing to their
techno-functionalities, food preservation capacity, and health benefits. A possible synergistic …

Osmotin is a stress responsive antifungal protein belonging to the pathogenesis-related
(PR)-5 family that confers tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Protective …

Plants are prone to a number of pathogens and abiotic stresses that cause various
disorders. However, plants possess a defense mechanism to cope with these stresses. The …

Osmotin is a tobacco PR-5 protein that has antifungal activity and is implicated in host-plant
defense. We show here that osmotin induces apoptosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

Nematodes and arthropods likely form the taxon Ecdysozoa. Information on antimicrobial
effectors from the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans may thus shed light on the …

The crystal structure of tobacco PR-5d, an antifungal thaumatin-like protein isolated from
cultured tobacco cells, was determined at the resolution of 1.8 Å. The structure consists of …

The specificity and kinetics of the interaction between the pathogenesis‐related group of
thaumatin‐like proteins (PR5) in higher plants and (1, 3)‐β‐d‐glucans have been …
