[Passiflora edulis antifungal peptide-1] Pe-AFP1 (QSERFEQQMQGQDFSHDERFLSQAA) has been purified from the seeds of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis). Pe-AFP1 inhibits the development of the filamentous fungi Trichoderma harzianum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Aspergillus fumigatus, but not of Rhyzoctonia solani, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Candida albicans. The protein shows a high degree of similarity to storage 2S albumins (Pelegrini et al, 2006).
