Antimicrobial peptides are ancient mediators of the innate species of life. These small lytic peptides are being exploited to genetically engineer disease-resistant crop plants. It is anticipated that certain (combinations of) potent antimicrobial peptides will provide agronomically relevant levels of disease control and should contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices.
