Abstract:
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of alkaline, small molecules found widely in nature. This article surveys the classifications of AMPs, delving into their modes of action and their role in controlling significant plant diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It also explores the prospects and challenges in this field, aiming to provide insights for enhancing crop disease resistance, ensuring food security, deepening the understanding of pathogen mechanisms, and protecting ecological balance.
