Fungal pathogens induce a variety of diseases in both plants and post-harvest food crops, resulting in significant crop losses for the agricultural industry. Although the usage of chemical-based fungicides is the most common way to control these diseases, they damage the environment, have the potential to harm human and animal life, and may lead to resistant fungal strains. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for diverse and effective agricultural fungicides that are environmentally- and eco-friendly. Plants have evolved various mechanisms in their innate immune system to defend against fungal pathogens, including soluble proteins secreted from plants with antifungal activities. These proteins can inhibit fungal growth and infection through a variety of mechanisms while exhibiting diverse functionality in addition to antifungal activity. In this mini review, we summarize and discuss the potential of using plant antifungal proteins for future agricultural applications from the perspective of bioengineering and biotechnology.
真菌病原体在植物和收获后的粮食作物中引发多种疾病，给农业产业造成重大作物损失。尽管使用化学杀菌剂是控制这些疾病最常用的方法，但它们会破坏环境，有可能危害人类和动物生命，并可能导致真菌菌株产生抗性。因此，迫切需要各种环境友好型和生态友好型的有效农业杀菌剂。植物在其先天免疫系统中进化出了多种防御真菌病原体的机制，包括植物分泌的具有抗真菌活性的可溶性蛋白质。这些蛋白质可以通过多种机制抑制真菌生长和感染，同时除了抗真菌活性外还具有多种功能。在这篇小型综述中，我们从生物工程和生物技术的角度总结并讨论了使用植物抗真菌蛋白在未来农业应用中的潜力。
