Antimicrobial OeDef1-, MtDef6-, or OeDef7-type peptides and proteins are disclosed along with compositions comprising the OeDef1-, MtDef6-, or OeDef7-type peptides and proteins and transgenic or genetically edited plants or microorganisms that express the OeDef1-, MtDef6-, or OeDef7-type peptides and proteins to inhibit growth of pathogenic microbes. Such OeDef1-, MtDef6-, or OeDef7-type peptides and proteins, compositions, plants, and microorganisms can provide for inhibition of microbial growth. |
