Biochemical and genetic studies have identified peptides that play crucial roles in plant defense, growth, and development. The number of known, functionally active, peptides is currently small, but genome sequencing has revealed many potential peptide-encoding genus. A major challenge of the post-genomic era is to determine the function of these molecules.
生化和遗传学研究已经鉴定出在植物防御、生长和发育中起关键作用的肽。目前已知的、具有功能活性的肽的数量较少，但基因组测序已经揭示了许多潜在的肽编码基因。后基因组时代的一个主要挑战是确定这些分子的功能。
