Identification of defensin-encoding genes of <it>Picea glauca</it>: characterization of PgD5, a conserved spruce defensin with strong antifungal activity
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Plant defensins represent a major innate immune protein superfamily that displays strong inhibitory effects on filamentous fungi. The total number of plant defensins in a conifer species is unknown since there are no sequenced conife...
