The theory of plant-insect coevolution provides for diffuse coevolution and the expectation that plants evolve broad-spectrum chemical defenses with which some insects coevolve by detoxifying and using the compounds as host-location cues. Specific biochemical modes of action have been assigned to re
## Abstract Many plant proteinase inhibitors have lysine at the P1 position, presumably to avoid hydrolysis by insect trypsins. Lepidopteran trypsins appear to have adapted to resist proteinase inhibitors through increased inhibitor hydrolysis and decreased binding to inhibitor hydrophilic reactive
The use, as opposed to the procurement, of transgenic crop plants is discussed in this paper. Transgenic crop plants must not be used until appropriate strategies for their use have been designed and not before crop plants with a variety of insect defenses have been developed. The use of a crop plan
