Antimicrobial peptides active against plant pathogens, their use and screening methods pertaining thereto.

摘要

Described are antimicrobial peptides active against plant pathogens, said peptides being modified forms of the known peptides Magainin 1 and Magainin 2 which are more resistant to degradation by plant proteases than the latter. A method for screening a compound to determine its resistance to degradation by plant proteases and a corresponding screening agent are also disclosed.
