Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to recombination peptides composed of at least two helical domains connected by a linker/turn. The disclosed peptides may have a variety of beneficial agricultural properties and uses, for example, in the treatment and prevention of fire blight in apple and pear trees or other members of the Rosaceae family.
Claims22

13-15. (canceled)
A method of treating or preventing a fire blight infection in a plant from the Rosaceae family comprising, applying to a target area on or adjacent to a plant from the Rosaceae family an effective amount of a recombinant peptide comprising two helical peptide domains connected by a linker domain, wherein the two helical domains are about 10 to about 20 amino acids in length and the linker domain is about 4 amino acids.
A method of treating or preventing a fire blight infection in a plant from the Rosaceae family comprising, expressing within the plant a recombinant peptide comprising two helical peptide domains connected by a linker domain, wherein the two helical domains are about 10 to about 20 amino acids in length and the linker domain is about 4 amino acids.
