In vitro antifungal assays. Plectosphaerella cucumerina growth measured after 24 h growing in liquid medium containing each peptide at a concentration of 20 nM. Fungal growth was measured as the level of turbidity (absorbance 600 nM). A commercial fungicidal (Switch) was used as a positive control. Bars represent mean ± standard error (SD), n = 3. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (ANOVA, Fisher’s Least Significant Difference (LSD) test; P < 0.05, n = 3).
