In agro-ecosystem, plant pathogens hamper food quality, crop yield, and global food
security. Manipulation of naturally occurring defense mechanisms in host plants is an …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are distributed across all kingdoms of life and are an
indispensable component of host defenses. They consist of predominantly short cationic …

Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is a destructive citrus disease
worldwide. Generating disease-resistant cultivars is the most effective, environmentally …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short, usually positively charged polypeptides
that exist in humans, animals, and plants. Considering the increasing number of drug …

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a group of
diverse molecules that are induced by phytopathogens as well as defense related signaling …

Plants possess large arsenals of immune receptors capable of recognizing all pathogen
classes. To cause disease, pathogenic organisms must be able to overcome physical …

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 …

Background Fungal endophytes occur ubiquitously in plants and are being increasingly
studied for their ability to support plant health and protect the host from diseases. Using …

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 …

Background Scientific approaches into modern agricultural systems, as opposed to the use
of synthetic pesticides in food production, became important by exploring endophytic fungi …
