[maize basic peptide-1] This basic peptide of 33 amino acids [RSGRGECRRQCLRRHEGQPWETQECMRRCRRRG] has been purified from maize (inbred B73) kernels (Duvick et al, 1992). The peptide shows no homology to thionins, a group of cysteine-rich peptides found in a variety of plants. MBP-1 inhibits spore germination or hyphal elongation of several plant pathogenic fungi and several bacteria.
