This project investigates the biological functions of plant defensins, specifically AtPDF2.3 and AtPDF2.2, focusing on their roles in plant defense and root development. The research aims to enhance our understanding of these peptides to improve agricultural practices against biotic stress.
Plant defensins are small highly stable peptides and were originally isolated based on their antifungal activity.
They are regarded as being an important part in plant innate immunity responses directed against fungal pathogens.
Recent data suggests however that their role is not restricted to antimicrobial peptides in the defense response, but also includes important biological functions, such as root development and reproduction.
Surprisingly, despite the broad international interest in plant…
