TL;DR: This review will focus on both naturally occurring and designed antiviral and antitumor cationic peptides, including those here called promiscuous, in which multiple targets are associated with a single peptide structure, focusing on their applications for human health, animal health and agriculture.

TL;DR: A computational algorithm is developed that starts with peptides naturally occurring in plants and optimizes this starting material to yield new variants which are highly distinct from the parent peptide, which could be used to design effective peptide antibiotics.

TL;DR: This review will focus on the relevance of the structural-function relations of AMPs derived from plants and their proper use in applications for human health and agribusiness.

TL;DR: It is found that systemic acquired resistance induction in female inflorescences mainly involves accumulation of salicylic acid (SA)-inducible defense genes and potential genes involved in chromatin modification, indicating novel candidates to be tested in strategies involving gene knockout and overexpression in plants.

TL;DR: Spathe predicted protein maps were drawn, and suggested that major plant efforts are expended in guaranteeing the maintenance of cell homeostasis, characterized by high investment in carbohydrate, amino acid and energy metabolism as well as in genetic information.
