[alfalfa antifungal peptide] alfAFP (RTCENLADKYRGPCFSGCDTHCTTKENAVSGRCRDDFRCWCTKRC) is a plant defensin isolated from seeds of Medicago sativa. It shows strong activity against the agronomically important fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae. Expression of alfAFP in transgenic potato plants provides robust resistance against the pathogen.
