Abstract excerpt
Antifungal proteins (AFPs) from filamentous fungi have enormous potential as novel biomolecules for the control of fungal diseases. However, little is known about the biological roles of AFPs beyond their antifungal action. Penicillium expansum encodes three phylogenetically different AFPs (PeAfpA, PeAfpB and PeAfpC) with diverse profiles of antifungal activity. PeAfpA stands out as a highly active AFP that is...
