Antimicrobial peptides have also been postulated to play a central role in the plant innate immune response to microbial infection and include the thionins, the defensins, and the cyclotides. It has been demonstrated that physiological concentrations of the thionins are active against bacteria and fungi in vitro and the heterologous expression of thionins in a transgenic plant model confer protection against bacterial challenge. ...

In this chapter, we will review the current knowledge of the role of LPS as a M AMP in plant innate immunity. We will give an overview of the range of responses induced by LPS, the sub-structures within LPS that are recognized by plants and variations within the LPS structure that can alter its activity as a MAMP. We will go on to discuss new work that suggests a role for the plasma-membrane resident syntaxin PEN1 in transduction of the LPS signal.

CTS is widely used in plant protection from the 1990s. Researchers found that CTS can elicit defense to more than 60 diseases on several plants. The potent effect of CTS on plant diseases control is from its antimicrobial and plant innate immunity elicited activity. Though there are many papers focused on CTS and plant protection, there are still many problems that need to be studied. The vital problems to be solved are...
