This pair of genes with different length was named "Daisho" in reference to Daisho Japanese swords, which come in pairs with one shorter than the other. The Daisho genes are regulated by Drosophila Toll-like receptor signalling. Daisho peptides protect flies against filamentous fungi, particularly Fusarium and a
