Plant protease inhibitors: a defense strategy in plants
Huma Habib,Khalid Majid Fazili +1 more
TL;DR: The current knowledge about plant protease inhibitors, their structure and their role in plant defense is briefly reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two cysteine proteinase inhibitors from Arabidopsis thaliana, AtCYSa and AtCYSb, increasing the salt, drought, oxidation and cold tolerance.
TL;DR: Northern blot analyses showed that the expressions of AtCYSa andAtCYSb gene in Arabidopsis cells and seedlings were strongly induced by multiple abiotic stresses from high salt, drought, oxidant, and cold, and raised the possibility of using AtCysa and AtcYSb to genetically improve environmental stresses tolerance in plants.

TL;DR: The sequences generated in this work represent a considerable increase in the number of sequences deposited in public databases and can be used to produce genetically improved varieties of Jatropha with increased oil yields, different oil compositions and better agronomic characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a stress responsive proteinase inhibitor gene with positive effect in improving drought resistance in rice
TL;DR: Northern-blot analysis and chymotrypsin-inhibitor activity assay indicate that OCPI1 might potentially be useful in the genetic improvement of drought resistance in rice.

A novel subclassification for Kunitz proteinase inhibitors from leguminous seeds.
Maria Luiza Vilela Oliva,Mariana Cristina Cabral Silva,Roberto C. Sallai,Marlon Vilela de Brito,Misako U. Sampaio +4 more
TL;DR: Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors from legume seeds have been characterized structurally and the presence of Cys-Cys in single or double chains shows a new pattern of proteins structurally not so closely related to STI.

The biochemistry of apoptosis
TL;DR: The basic components of the death machinery are reviewed, how they interact to regulate apoptosis in a coordinated manner is described, and the main pathways that are used to activate cell death are discussed.

Crystalline soybean trypsin inhibitor : ii. general properties.
TL;DR: Crystalline soy protein when denatured is readily digestible by pepsin, and less readily by chymotrypsin and by trypsin, which results in a proportional gain in the inhibiting activity.

Protease Inhibitors in Plants: Genes for Improving Defenses Against Insects and Pathogens
TL;DR: The inducible chemicals, which can also occur constitutively, include such complex sub stances as antibiotics, alkaloids, and terpenes, as well as proteins such as enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, and lectins, which have provided interesting systems for studying inducibles plant defense.

TL;DR: This work aims to provide a systematic literature review and meta-analyses of the determinants of blood clotting disorders and their Kessler’s disease progression as well as some of the mechanisms behind these reactions.
