Improving natural crop resistance to fungal pathogens : biophysical characterisation of plant defence protein interactions with biomembranes

The mechanism of action of the wheat defence proteins (puroindolines and purothionins) as antifungal agents was investigated by monitoring their interactions with the lipid systems mimicking the structures of the yeast cell membrane. The membrane models used were: monolayers at the air/liquid interf...
