Anti-microbial proteins

摘要

An anti-microbial protein comprising a peptide having the amino acid sequence: AA1-AA2-AA3-Cys-AA5-AA6-AA7-AA8-AA9-Cys-AA11-AA12-AA13-AA14-Cys-Cys-AA17-AA18-AA19-AA20-AA21-Cys-AA23-AA24-AA25-AA26-AA27-AA28-Cys-AA30. An anti-microbial protein having the sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID Nos 1-3. Recombinant DNA encoding such proteins. A vector comprising such DNA which is expressible in plants and which is linked to a plant operable promoter and terminator. Plants transformed with such recombinant DNA; the progeny of such plants which contain the DNA stably incorporated and hereditable in a Mendelian manner, and/or the seeds of such plants or such progeny.
