Abstract:
The present invention relates to a number of peptides which have antimicrobial activity and which are useful in retarding plant pathogens. In addition, compounds in accordance with the present invention may have improved resistance to degradation by plant proteases, and/or sufficiently low phytotoxicity to render them likely candidates for use in conjunction with plants. The present invention also relates to oligonucleotides which are capable of expressing the aforementioned peptides. Also provided hereby is a process of retarding the growth of plant pathogens using the compounds of the present invention as well as a screening method and screening reagent useful in determining the proteolytic degradation resistance of a known compound.
