The interaction of proteinase inhibitors produced, in most cases, by host organisms and the
invasive proteinases of pathogens or parasites or the dietary proteinases of predators …

Plant serine protease inhibitors are defense proteins crafted by nature for inhibiting serine
proteases. Use of eco-friendly, sustainable and effective protein molecules which could halt …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling plays a central role in transducing
extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses, but its role in mediating plant responses to …

Evidence for the in planta defensive function of trypsin protease inhibitors (TPIs) comes from
observations of enhanced herbivore resistance after heterologous TPI expression or the …

Two proteinase inhibitors (PIs), CapA1 and CapA2, were purified from Capsicum annum
Linn. Var. Phule Jyoti leaves and assessed for their in vitro and in vivo activity against …

Food source is a major determinant of physiological performance and a strong selection
force for insect herbivores. The ability to adequately respond to chemical challenges posed …

Background Herbivore-induced defence responses are often specific-different herbivores
induce different defence responses in plants-and their specificity is largely mediated by …

Plant protease inhibitors (PIs) are a diverse group of proteins which have been intensely
investigated due to their potential function in protecting plants against herbivorous insects by …

Novel forms of Pin-II type proteinase inhibitor (PIs) cDNAs (CanPIs) having three or four
inhibitory repeat domains (IRD) were isolated from the developing green fruits of Capsicum …

Crop protection is the basis of plant production and food security. Additionally, there are
many efforts focused on increasing defensive mechanisms in order to avoid the damaging …
