Functional peptides for plant disease control Montesinos Seguí, Emilio European Commission Agencia Estatal de Investigación Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (Espanya) Plantes -- Malalties Plant diseases Plantes -- Malalties bacterianes Bacterial diseases of plants Pèptids Peptides Plant disease control requires novel approaches to mitigate the spread of and losses caused by current, emerging, and re-emerging diseases and to adapt plant protection to global climate change and the restrictions on the use of conventional pesticides. Currently, disease management relies mainly on biopesticides, which are required for the sustainable use of plant-protection products. Functional peptides are candidate biopesticides because they orig- inate from living organisms or are synthetic analogs and provide novel mechanisms of action against plant pathogens. Hundreds of compounds ex- ist that cover an extensive range of activities against viruses, bacteria and phytoplasmas, fungi and oomycetes, and nematodes. Natural sources, chem- ical synthesis, and biotechnological platforms may provide peptides at large scale for the industry and growers. The main challenges for their use in plant disease protection are (a) the requirement of stability in the plant envi- ronment and counteracting resistance in pathogen populations, (b) the need to develop suitable formulations to increase their shelf life and methods of application, (c) the selection of compounds with acceptable toxicological pro- files, and (d) the high cost of production for agricultural purposes. In the near future, it is expected that several functional peptides will be commer- cially available for plant disease control, but more effort is needed to validate their efficacy at the field level and fulfill the requirements of the regulatory framework This work has been supported partially by grants from the European Union XF-ACTORS (Ref.727987), Pre-HLB (Ref. 817526), and BeXyL (Ref. 101060593) projects, and by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades projects RTI2018-099410-B-C21, RTI2018-099410-BC22, and TED2021-130110B-C43 2023-09-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion peer-reviewed http://hdl.handle.net/10256/24745 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1146/annurev-phyto-021722-034312 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/0066-4286 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/eissn/1545-2107 RTI2018-099410-B-C21 RTI2018-099410-B-C22 TED2021-130110B-C43 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/817526/EU/PREVENTING HLB EPIDEMICS FOR ENSURING CITRUS SURVIVAL IN EUROPE/PRE-HLB info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/HE/101060593/EU/Beyond Xylella, Integrated Management Strategies for Mitigating Xylella fastidiosa impact in Europe (BeXyl)/BeXyl info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/AEI/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020/RTI2018-099410-B-C21/ES/PEPTIDOS DIRIGIDOS A DIANAS Y PROCESOS CLAVE PARA EL CONTROL DE XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA/ info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/AEI/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020/RTI2018-099410-B-C22/ES/PEPTIDOS DIRIGIDOS A DIANAS Y PROCESOS CLAVE PARA EL CONTROL DE XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA.
