Structure and antimicrobial activity of NCR169, a nodule-specific cysteine-rich peptide of Medicago truncatula
Abstract A model legume, Medicago truncatula, has over 600 nodule-specific cysteine-rich (NCR) peptides required for symbiosis with rhizobia. Among them, NCR169, an essential factor for establishing symbiosis, has four cysteine residues that are indispensable for its function. However, knowledge of...
