Summary of AMPs expressed in vegetables, as well as their modes of action and activity against bacteria and fungi.

Vegetable AMPs	Mode of Action	Active Against
Tomato (snakin SN2)	Pore formation, agglomeration of cells	S. cerevisiae
Onion (Ba-49)	Disruption of the cell membrane, triggering the production of ROS *, preventing the formation of biofilms, and degrading the formation of mature biofilms	S. aureus
Garlic (F3-3-a, F3-3-b, F3-3-c)	Disruption of the cell membrane	E. coli, S. aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, B. subtilis
Chili pepper (F3 fraction)	Membrane permeabilization, production of ROS	S. cerevisiae, C. guilliermondii, C. parapsilosis, K. marxiannus, P. membranifaciens, C. tropicalis, C. albicans

* ROS—Reactive Oxygen Species.
