Restoration of threatened species: a noble cause for transgenic trees (2007, background): “Antimicrobial peptides are produced by most organisms as part of their pathogen defense systems and these peptides often have broad-spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiprotozoan properties (Hancock and Diamond 2000).”
