Recently, the dramatic emergence of antimicrobial resistance has received attention from
World Health Organization. Synthetic antimicrobial peptides (SAMPs) are considered new …

Plant defensins form a family of proteins with a broad spectrum of protective activities
against fungi, bacteria, and insects. Furthermore, some plant defensins have revealed …

The γ-core motif is a structural element shared by most host antimicrobial peptides (AMPs),
which is supposed to contribute to their antimicrobial properties. In this review, we …

Background Antimicrobial peptides, natural or synthetic, appear as promising molecules for
antimicrobial therapy because of their both broad antimicrobial activity and mechanism of …

Plant cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs) represent a diverse group of molecules involved in
different aspects of plant physiology. Antimicrobial peptides, which directly suppress the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are molecules present in several life forms, possess broad-
spectrum of inhibitory activity against pathogenic microorganisms, and are a promising …

Plant defensins demonstrate high structural stability at extreme temperatures and pH values
and, in general, are non-toxic to mammalian cells. These properties make them attractive …

In recent years, the antimicrobial activity of peptides isolated from a wide variety of organs
from plant species has been reported. However, a few studies have investigated the …

Lepidopteran insect pest Helicoverpa armigera is one of the most destructive pests of crop
plants and several biotechnological approaches are being developed for its control. Plant …

Available treatments for invasive fungal infections have limitations, including toxicity and the
emergence of resistant strains. Therefore, there is an urgent need for alternative solutions …
