A barley cystatin stably expressed in rice exhibits strong in vitro inhibitory activity against gut proteinases of rice water weevil
Rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus brevirostris Suffrian (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most important rice pests in Cuba. Here, we describe the production of transgenic rice plants expressing barley cystatin HvCPI-1 (Icy1 gene) to explore the potential of this protein for the control of r...
