As important physiological regulators, peptides have been used in many fields including
medicine, cosmetics, healthcare products, animal nutrition and health, and plant nutrition …

Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have evolved differently from AMPs from other life
forms. They are generally rich in cysteine residues which form multiple disulfides. In turn, the …

The plant hormones abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene are involved in
diverse plant processes, including the regulation of gene expression during adaptive …

Plant defensins are an extensive family of small cysteine rich proteins characterised by a
conserved cysteine stabilised alpha beta protein fold which resembles the structure of insect …

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 …

Defensins are a well-characterised group of small, disulphide-rich, cationic peptides that are
produced by essentially all eukaryotes and are highly diverse in their sequences and …

Plant defensins are small (ca 5 kDa), basic, cysteine-rich proteins with antimicrobial
activities. They are ubiquitous in plants and form part of the innate immunity arsenal. Plant …

Decoding the mechanisms of plant defense against plant pathogens in a scenario where
antagonistic activity and the plant growth-promoting effects of useful organisms intervene …

Plant defensins are small, cysteine-rich peptides that possess biological activity towards a
broad range of organisms. Their activity is primarily directed against fungi, but bactericidal …

There has been a spurt in the spread of microbial resistance to antibiotics due to
indiscriminate use of antimicrobial agents in human medicine, agriculture, and animal …
