Pest protection conferred by a Beta vulgaris serine proteinase inhibitor gene.

Pest protection conferred by a Beta vulgaris serine proteinase inhibitor gene.

Proteinase inhibitors provide a means of engineering plant resistance to insect pests. A Beta vulgaris serine proteinase inhibitor gene (BvSTI) was fused to the constitutive CaMV35S promoter for over-expression in Nicotiana benthamiana plants to study its effect on lepidopteran insect pests. Indepen...
