The major proteinase activities in the larval midgut of a common poplar tree borer, Anoplophora glabripennis, were characterised. Overall digestive capacity, as measured by casein hydrolysis, showed a p H optimum between 10 and 11.5, suggestive of serine endopeptidase activity. Trypsin, chymotrypsin
Levels of two wound-inducible serine proteinase inhibitors, called Inhibitor I and Inhibitor II, and their mRNAs were quantified in leaves of tomato (Lycopersicon escululentum (L.) Mill.) plants after wounding the leaves with a hemostat. A single wound on a lower leaf of 25-old tomato plants caused
