Antifungal defensins and their role in plant defense
Since the beginning of the 90’s lots of cationic plant, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides (AMP) have been studied. However, Broekaert only coined the term plant defensin in 1995, after comparison of a new class of plant antifungal peptides with known insect defensins. From there, many plant defe...
