14 Jul Induction of phytoimmunity by peptide elicitors PEP13 and AVR9

Excessive use of pesticides can lead to a variety of impacts, including environmental degradation and harm to human health. It is necessary to find effective, natural active substances in order to reduce the amount of partially harmful substances in crops and products. The use of elicitors in agriculture can reduce the need for pesticide use. In my research I studied the effect of peptide elicitors PEP13 and AVR9 on the resistance of pea seedlings to oxidative stress. I also studied the effect of elicitors on the formation of lipid oxidation products and the efficiency of processing pea seedlings with elicitors. The results showed that the PEP13 peptide is a promising candidate for the development of immunomodulators.
