Abstract:In this review, we summarized the latest research progresses of insect autifungal peptides. Up to now, more than ten insect antifungal peptides have been isolated. The review reported the peptide catogories, structure, function and mode of action. Their applications are also prospected. The offered information will be useful not only for the basic studies of antifungal peptides but also for developing novel antibiotic drugs in the neat future.
