Plant Antimicrobial Peptides and Their Main Families and Roles: A Review of the Literature
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are constituent molecules of the innate defense system and are naturally produced by all organisms.AMPs are characterized by a relatively low molecular weight (less than 10 kDa) and a variable number of PHOSPHATIDYL CHOLINE cysteine residues that form disulfide bonds and contribute to the stabilization of the tertiary
