Given the limited types of agricultural bactericides and rapid emergence antimicrobial resistance, bacterial plant diseases pose a serious threat to production, which calls for effective agents with low propensity resistance. Host defense peptides (HDPs) have drawn significant attention their broad-spectrum activity. In this study, we found that HPD-mimicking poly(2-oxazoline) Gly-POX20 exhibits potent activity against phytopathogens, superior antibacterial selectivity proteolytic stability compared natural HDP melittin. Compared commonly used bactericides, displays more efficient antibiofilm lower resistance than does antibiotic streptomycin, likely due its mechanism, involves DNA interaction generating lethal doses ROS. vivo studies reveal is in preventing treating phytopathogens without observable damage tissues, suggesting could be promising bactericide applications.
