Sensitivity of Bacterial and Fungal Plant Pathogens to the Lytic Peptides, MSI-99, Magainin II, and Cecropin B
In vitro and leaf disk assays of bacterial and fungal plant pathogens were conducted using three cationic lytic peptides, MSI-99, magainin II (MII), and cecropin B (CB). Growth of bacterial organisms was retarded or completely inhibited by low concentrations of these lytic peptides. The peptides als...
