An investigation into the proteolytic degradation of antimicrobial peptides by plant extracts and localisation of pleurocidin in transgenic saccharum hybrid species.
Two cationic antimicrobial peptides, ESF I-GR7, and pleurocidin, were assessed for their stability in plant intercellular fluid, the targeted locale for their expression in transgenic plants. Incubation of ESFI-GR7 and pleurocidin with intercellular fluid (ICF) extracted from sugarcane, tomato and t...
