Abstract excerpt

Fungal infections, such as candidiasis and aspergillosis, are some of the most frequent infections in humans. Although antifungal drugs are available for the treatment of these infections, antifungal agents with new mechanisms of action should be developed because of the increasing incidence of drug-resistant pathogens in recent years. In this study, a basic functional analysis of rice defensin OsAFP1, a novel...
