The disclosure describes antimicrobial peptides exhibiting activity against a wide variety of plant pathogens are described. Functional peptides consisting of the amino acid sequence: MKVMIVVKTKVKNKKVAKMMVK (SEQ ID NO: 1) or an amino acid sequence having an identity of 85% or more to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or consisting of a partial peptide thereof are described.

Functional peptides having antimicrobial activity against phytopathogenic microorganisms

Antimicrobial activity exhibited against a wide variety of plant pathogens. A functional peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence: YYGFPAFSERTRKFWRIWKGKTS (SEQ ID NO: 1) or an amino acid sequence having an identity of 85% or more with respect to the amino acid sequence, or consisting of a partial peptide thereof.

The invention provides a marker related to quantitative traits of a Gramineae plant, and in particular, stalk length. Such Gramineae stalk-length-related marker comprises a continuous nucleic acid region selected from a region sandwiched between the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 of a chromosome of the Gramineae plant.

Stalk-length-related marker derived from genome of wild-type sugarcane and use thereof
