Abstract
⺠Two highly homologous defensins from common chickweed were isolated and sequenced. ⺠Defensins exhibit strong antifungal activity against important plant pathogens. ⺠Three defensin-encoding genes were identified, two of which are expressed in seeds. ⺠Defensins precursors consist of a signal peptide and a mature peptide domains. ⺠The genomic DNA sequences contain an intron in the signal peptide region.
