Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to antifungal proteins, processes for their manufacture and use, and DNA sequences encoding them. Antifungal proteins which are analogues of the Rs-AFP2 protein and contain particular mutations in their amino acid sequence. The mutated proteins possess enhanced salt-tolerant antifungal activity. The proteins are useful for combating fungal diseases in agricultural, pharmaceutical or preservative applications.
