Abstract:
Cecropin is a kind of heat-durable and broad-spectrum antibacterial polypeptides which has strong effect against bacteria,fungi,virus and some pathogenic microorganisms.Today Cecropin has been widely applied into plant genetic engineering,antiviral study,and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.Its Structure-function relationship,antibacterial mechanism,and the application on transgenic plants for bacterium resistance was reviewed.Expression of Cecropin in plants has a great application potential in bacterium resistance.Deep analyses and research of molecular structure and action mechanism can promote the transgenic plants antibacterial research.
