Complementary peptides represent a credible alternative to agrochemicals by activating translation of targeted proteins

M. Ormancey, B. Guillotin, et al.

Discover how complementary peptides (CPEPs) could revolutionize agriculture by enhancing plant traits such as growth, pathogen resistance, and heat stress tolerance, all without genetic modification. This innovative research conducted by Mélanie Ormancey and colleagues shows the potential of CPEPs as a safe and effective alternative to traditional agrochemicals.

Abstract

This study explores complementary peptides (CPEPs) as a safe alternative to agrochemicals. CPEPs, designed from any gene, specifically target plant coding genes and increase the abundance of the targeted protein, resulting in altered phenotypes. The research demonstrates that CPEPs can improve plant traits like growth, pathogen resistance, and heat stress tolerance without genetic modification and can also reduce weed growth.
