Journal ArticleDOI

A novel antifungal hevein-type peptide from Triticum kiharae seeds with a unique 10-cysteine motif

TL;DR: Two forms of a novel antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that differ by a single C‐terminal amino acid residue and belong to a new structural type of plant AMP were purified from seeds of Triticum kiharae Dorof and successfully produced in Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel mode of action of plant defense peptides - hevein-like antimicrobial peptides from wheat inhibit fungal metalloproteases.

TL;DR: WAMPs represent novel protease inhibitors that are active against fungal metalloproteases, suggesting that fungalysin plays an important role in fungal development and a novel molecular mechanism of dynamic interplay between host defense molecules and fungal virulence factors is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hevein-like antimicrobial peptides of plants

TL;DR: This review thoroughly describes all known pep- tides belonging to this family of hevein-like peptides including data on their structures, functions, and antimicrobial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation, molecular cloning and antimicrobial activity of novel defensins from common chickweed (Stellaria media L.) seeds.

TL;DR: The Sm-D genes show promise for engineering pathogen resistance in crops and expand the knowledge on weed genomics with strong inhibitory activity against phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes in the micromolar range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genes encoding 4-Cys antimicrobial peptides in wheat Triticum kiharae Dorof. et Migush.: multimodular structural organization, instraspecific variability, distribution and role in defence

TL;DR: Genes encoding Tk‐AMP‐X precursors have no introns in the protein‐coding regions and are upregulated by fungal pathogens and abiotic stress, providing conclusive evidence for their role in stress response.
