| + | Defensis belong to a major family of cationic host defence peptides (HDP), and are characterized by a small molecular size (~5 kDa), basic nature and cysteine-rich. Althoug defensins may have a broad variety of primary and secondary structures, they all have a conserved tertiary structure: a triple-stranded antiparallel β-sheet and one α-helix, stabilized by disulfide bridges, forming a cysteine-stabilized α-helix β-sheet motif. | ||
The major role of plant defensins are for sure in defence against pathogens, specially phytopathogenic fungi, such as ''Fusarium culmorum'' and ''Botrytis cinerea''. However, some works have demonstrated its role in plant development, altering root growth in ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' and organs development in ''Solanum lycopersicum''. | The major role of plant defensins are for sure in defence against pathogens, specially phytopathogenic fungi, such as ''Fusarium culmorum'' and ''Botrytis cinerea''.
