Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors from legume seeds have been characterized structurally. The
presence of Cys–Cys in single or double chains shows a new pattern of proteins structurally …

Different types of biotic stresses like microbial attack (eg bacterial, viral, fungal infection),
herbivore attack (eg insects, pests) affect growth and yield of plants. A range of defensive …

Inga laurina is a tree that belongs to the Mimosoideae sub-family of the Leguminosae. A
protein inhibitor of trypsin (ILTI) was isolated from its seeds by ammonium sulphate …

Legumes are affected by biotic factors such as insects, molds, bacteria, and viruses. These
plants can produce many different molecules in response to the attack of phytopathogens …

Plant proteinase inhibitors (PIs), which play a potent defensive role against predators and
pathogens, are natural, defense-related proteins often present in seeds and induced in …

Protease inhibitors are a promising complement to Bt toxins for the development of insect-
resistant transgenic crops, but their limited specificity against proteolytic enzymes and the …

A full-length cDNA gene, designated Oryza sativa chymotrypsin inhibitor-like 1 (OCPI1), was
characterized in rice. The predicted protein of OCPI1 shows very high sequence identity to …

Plant proteinase inhibitors (PI s) are considered as candidates for increased insect
resistance in transgenic plants. Insect adaptation to PI ingestion might, however …

Papain‐like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) play crucial roles in plant–pathogen/pest
interactions. During these parasitic interactions, PLCPs act on non‐self substrates …

The Asian soybean rust fungus, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is an obligate biotrophic pathogen
causing severe soybean disease epidemics. Molecular mechanisms by which P. pachyrhizi …
