Plant antimicrobial peptides (pamps): Features, applications, production, expression and challenges. Molecules, 27(12), 3703. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules271237031420-3049https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules27123703http://hdl.handle.net/10566/7905The quest for an extraordinary array of defense strategies is imperative to reduce the challenges of microbial attacks on plants and animals. Plant antimicrobial peptides (PAMPs) are a subset of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). PAMPs elicit defense against microbial attacks and prevent drug resistance of pathogens given their wide spectrum activity, excellent structural stability, and diverse mechanism of action. This review aimed to identify the applications, features, production, expression, and challenges of PAMPs using its structure–activity relationship. The discovery techniques used to identify these peptides were also explored to provide insight into their significance in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and their expression against disease-causing pathogens.enBiotechnologyEngineeringDrugsPlantsPathogensArticle
