Cecropin A—Derived Peptides Are Potent Inhibitors of Fungal Plant Pathogens
Cecropins are naturally occurring peptides that play an important role in the immune response of insects. Cecropin A-derived and cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptides, all smaller than the natural compound cecropin A, were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit growth of several agronomic...
