摘要：
A system for reducing the incidence or severity of fungal infection of a plant,comprising a chemical fungicide component, which may be provided by foliar orroot (soil or liquid nutrient) application, together with an antifungal plantdefensin not in nature expressed in the plant being protected or expressed inlower amounts or in different tissues, provides synergistic improvement inprotection against infection by a plant pathogenic fungus which is susceptibleto the defensin and the fungicide. The fungicide can be a strobilurin or a triazole,and the defensin can be selected from a wide range of known defensins, for example,NaD1 and others, or it can be a chimeric defensin engineered for low toxicity tothe plant. The defensin can be provided as a protein formulation, optionallytogether with the fungicide, or it can be provided by recombinant expressionin the plant to be protected from fungal infection.
