Antibiotics are essential drugs used to treat pathogenic bacteria, but their prolonged use
contributes to the development and spread of drug-resistant microorganisms. Antibiotic …

Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have evolved differently from AMPs from other life
forms. They are generally rich in cysteine residues which form multiple disulfides. In turn, the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are produced by several species including insects,
other animals, micro-organisms and synthesis, are a critical component of the natural …

Sugars are involved in many metabolic and signalling pathways in plants. Sugar signals
may also contribute to immune responses against pathogens and probably function as …

The use of invertebrates for in vivo studies in microbiology is well established in the scientific
community. Larvae of Galleria mellonella are a widely used model for studying …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are endogenous polypeptides produced by multicellular
organisms in order to protect a host from pathogenic microbes. AMPs are also defined as …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and proteins are important components of innate immunity
against pathogens in insects. The production of AMPs is costly owing to resource-based …

Foliar application of micronutrients (eg Fe3+) onto plants over an extended time is
challenging and often not possible due to insufficient rainfastness. Smart delivery systems …

Phakopsora pachyrhizi is a biotrophic fungus provoking SBR disease. SBR poses a major
threat to global soybean production. Though several R genes provided soybean immunity to …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and antimicrobial peptides or proteins (AMPs/APs) are both
considered as promising platforms for the development of novel therapeutic agents effective …
