The present invention provides nucleic acid molecules derived from, which encode defensin-like molecules. The present invention contemplates the use of such nucleic acid molecules in the generation of transgenic plants having resistance or at least reduced sensitivity to plant pests including insects, microorganisms, fungi and/or viruses and the of the encoded defensin-like molecules in compositions for topical application to a plant or a plant part so as to reduce prevent or reduce infestation of the plant or plant part by plant pests. The transgenic plants provided by the present invention include monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants, and particularly include crop plants and ornamental flowering plants.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preventing or treating proliferative diseases. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of compositions derived or derivable from plants, such as plant defensins, particularly in methods for the prevention or treatment of proliferative diseases such as cancer. The present invention also relates to associated uses, systems and kits.
