From: Vv-AMP1, a ripening induced peptide from Vitis vinifera shows strong antifungal activity
Antifungal activity of Vv-AMP1 on a panel of plant pathogenic fungi. Microspectrophotometric readings were recorded every 24 hours and compared to the untreated fungal controls. The data is represented as a percentage of fungal growth as compared to the untreated control reactions with no peptide. The experiment was repeated three times and the standard deviation for each reaction was less than 5%. Growth inhibition was determined after 48 hours of growth for the Fusarium and B. cinerea strains and after 72 hours for V. dahliae. The effect of Vv-AMP1 on the germination and growth of F. solani (A), F. oxysporum (B), B. cinerea (C) and V. dahliae (D) is shown.
