Characteristics and antifungal activity of a chitin binding protein from Ginkgo biloba.
TLDR
An antifungal peptide from leaves of Ginkgo biloba, designated GAFP, has been isolated and shows characteristics of the cysteine/glycine‐rich chit in binding domain of many chitin binding proteins.About:

TL;DR: It is becoming increasingly evident that a plant-pathogen interaction may be compared to an open warfare, whose major weapons are proteins synthesized by both organisms, and discovery of novel antifungal proteins and peptides continues at a rapid pace.

Antimicrobial activity in cultures of endophytic fungi isolated from Garcinia species
TL;DR: In this paper, an agar diffusion method was used to screen for antimicrobial activity in endophytic fungi isolated from surface sterilized leaves and branches of five Garcinia plants, i.e., G. atroviridis, G. dulcis and G. scortechinii.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding
TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that two homologous, 5-kD cysteine-rich proteins designated Raphanus sativus-antifungal protein 1 and Rs-AFP2 are located in the cell wall and occur predominantly in the outer cell layers lining different seed organs, and are preferentially released during seed germination after disruption of the seed coat.
