ABSTRACT:
Certain specific derivatives of the 17-amino acid peptide tachyplesin has been found to have antimicrobial activity against plant pathogens. In a preferred embodiment, plant resistance to diseases caused by plant pathogens which are susceptible to these peptides is produced by inserting into the cells of a plant a gene whose expression causes production of one or more of the peptides of this invention in the plant in antimicrobial amounts.
