About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to illuminate advances within plant science, aiming at the use of peptides in biotechnology as a platform for improving human and animal health and, also agribusiness applications. This Research Topic also provides an appreciation/recognition on naturally-occurring PAMP contributions from past and present. Also, this Research Topic also covers themes from discovery to drug design, and basic research to recent advances on biotechnology production/applications
This Research Topic welcome Original Research, Reviews and Analysis focusing on, but not limited to, the following subjects:.
• PAMP structure-activity relationship
• PAMP as templates for peptide reengineering (e.g. chemical modifications)
• PAMP biotechnological applications (e.g. nanotechnology)
• PAMP drug design based on in silico modelling
• PAMP past and present discovery and challenges
• PAMP medicinal applications
• PAMP agriculture applications (an alternative natural pesticides)
• PAMP scalable production (e.g. bacteria/yeast expression)
• PAMP past and present approved drugs
• PAMP genome, transcriptome, and proteome (e.g. transcriptome profiling)
Keywords: PAMP, Plant Antimicrobial Peptide, Biotechnology, Structure, Engineering, Drug, Modelling
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
