Recent evidence indicates that the presence of serine proteinase inhibitors in plant leaves can reduce predation by insects. Plants can now be transformed with proteinase inhibitor genes with strong promoters to express the inhibitor proteins in relatively high levels at specijic times. Inhibitors h
The Evolution of Plant Defense ### 5.1 Introduction All living organisms are a potential source of food. It seems plausible therefore that defense mechanisms in autotrophic organisms would have arisen soon after the origin of heterotrophy. As a result, the appearance of defense mechanisms against
