This antifungal peptide with an N-terminal sequence resembling that of rice disease resistance NB-S-LRR-like protein has been isolated from fresh pomegranate peels (Guo et al, 2009). The protein of 11 kDa inhibits mycelial growth in the fungi Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum and is devoid of hemagglutinating, ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease and protease inhibitory activities.
