Trichoderma viride alamethicin and plant cells - Action, response and resistance
Alamethicin is a membrane active peptide secreted from the soil-living fungus Trichoderma viride. When coexisting with T. Viride, plant roots are exposed to alamethicin, which has the ability to elicit formation of volatile compounds involved in pathogen defence. Alamethicin can make pores across membranes with a negative membrane potential, such as the plant plasma membrane. The alamethicin pores
