Molecular mechanism of Arabidopsis thaliana profilins as antifungal proteins

ConclusionPFNs may play a critical role as antifungal proteins in the Arabidopsis defense system against fungal pathogen attacks.General significanceThe present study indicates that two profilin proteins, AtPFN1 and AtPFN2, can act as natural antimicrobial agents in the plant defense system.
