Evaluation and expression of indolicidins and polyphemusin variants in plants for broad-spectrum disease resistance

The cationic antimicrobial peptides, indolicidins and polyphemusins, have shown activity against animal pathogenic viruses. The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of these peptides for engineering plants with a broad-spectrum disease resistance, including viral diseases. TTC, Evan's...
