Abstrakt
Defensins are small, highly stable antimicrobial peptides. Many defensin-like (DEFL)
peptides found in flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana are believed to have role in either natural
immunity or cell-to-cell communication during fertilization. However, little is known about the
DEFL peptides and their functions during these events. The goal of this work is to investigate the
genes encoding selected DEFLs by observing their expression patterns during fertilization and
Fusarium graminearum infection. According to the results 4 selected genes of interest (GOI) are
downregulated after fertilization and infection and mock treatments are causing degradation and
delay of development in treated ovules.
