Analysis of structures, functions, and transgenicity of phytopeptides defensin and thionin: a review

Abstract Background Antimicrobial peptides are very primitive innate defense molecules of almost all organisms, from microbes to mammalians and vascular seed-bearing plants. plants categorized into cysteine-rich (CRPs) others most the antimicrobial belong CRPs group. These reported showing great extent protecting property against bacteria, fungi, viruses, insect, nematode, another kind microbes. To develop a resistant plant pathogenic there have been several studies executed understand efficiency transgenicity these peptides. Main text Apart intrinsic higher organism for identifying activating microbial attack device, it also involves mechanism molecules. In current review article, apart structural functional characterization defensin thionin, we attempted provide succinct overview transgenic development peptides, that expressed in constitutive or over-expressive manner when biotic abiotic stress inflicted. Transgenic different show competence Most made thionin revealed effective capacity Conclusion There successful based on observed diverse level resistance-conferring potency phytopathogenic fungi. But due long regulatory process, has not marketed any yet. However, success report state possibly near future AMPs would be released with devoid harmful effect, good efficiency, reproducibility, stability, least production cost.
