Phytohormone treatment induces generation of cryptic peptides with antimicrobial activity in the Moss Physcomitrella patens
Abstract Background Cryptic peptides (cryptides) are small bioactive molecules generated via degradation of functionally active proteins. Only a few examples of plant cryptides playing an important role in plant defense have been reported to date, hence our knowledge about cryptic signals hidden in...
