Plant-derived nodule-specific Cys-rich peptides (NCRs) play essential roles towards microsymbionts control. To pinpoint whether DgDef1 — a nodule-specific defensin from the actinorhizal plant Datisca glomerata — fulfills similar functions, the peptide was characterized. DgDef1 affects growth of seve...
