Amylase inhibitors of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) seeds.
TLDR
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L) seeds were analysed quantitatively for amylase inhibitor (AI) activity and qualitatively, by an in-gel-detection method on polyacrylamide gels, to develop strategies to strengthen defense mechanisms in pigeonpea against H. armigera.About:

Transgenic Pea Seeds Expressing the α-Amylase Inhibitor of the Common Bean are Resistant to Bruchid Beetles
Richard E. Shade,Hartmut E. Schroeder,José Javier Pueyo,Linda Tabe,Larry L. Murdock,Thomas J. V. Higgins,Maarten J. Chrispeels +6 more
TL;DR: The levels of αAI protein in the pea seeds were as high as in bean seeds and the peas were resistant to the cowpea and Azuki bean weevils, suggesting this gene is a candidate for a genetic engineering approach that would make other legumes resistant to bruchid infestations.
