Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptides for Plant Disease Control
Antimicrobial cyclic peptides derived from microbes bind stably with target sites, have a tolerance to hydrolysis by proteases, and a favorable degradability under field conditions, which make them an attractive proposition for use as agricultural fungicides. Antimicrobial cyclic peptides are classified according to the types of bonds within the ring structure; homodetic, heterodetic, and compl...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides and plant disease control.
Several diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi affect plant crops, resulting in losses and decreasing the quality and safety of agricultural products. Plant disease control relies mainly on chemical pesticides that are currently subject to strong restrictions and regulatory requirements. Antimicrobial peptides are interesting compounds in plant health because there is a need for new pro...
متن کاملPlant antimicrobial peptides
Pathogens, like fungi, nematodes, virus and bacterial are responsible for several human and plant diseases. According FAO, around 20 to 40 percent of crops yields are lost, per year, due plant diseases and pest. Besides this, only USA spend 30 billion dollars a year with hospital infections, and the numbers are increasing as the infection are becoming more and more resistant to conventional ant...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides: Insights into Membrane Permeabilization, Lipopolysaccharide Fragmentation and Application in Plant Disease Control
The recent increase in multidrug resistance against bacterial infections has become a major concern to human health and global food security. Synthetic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have recently received substantial attention as potential alternatives to conventional antibiotics because of their potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. These peptides have also been implicated in plant dis...
متن کاملBead diffusion assay for discovering antimicrobial cyclic peptides.
A combinatorial library of 15,536 cyclic decapeptide analogues of tyrocidine A and gramicidin S was prepared on photocleavable TentaGel beads. The beads were photolyzed without solvent, and spread onto an agar plate inoculated with bacterial lawn. Clear zones were formed around beads carrying antimicrobially active peptides such as E18 c(kVOrnLfThiYOrnLq), which inhibited growth of B. subtilis ...
