Cy-AMP1, Cy-AMP2, and Cy-AMP3 are three antimicrobial peptides purified from seeds of the cycad (Cycas revoluta). The peptides belong to the class of plant defensins and are active against plant pathogenic fungi, Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Cy-AMP3 has weak antimicrobial activity and thus may act as a defense peptide (Yokoyama et al, 2008).
