| abstract |
The present invention relates to a method for controlling plant pests which is based on proteinase inhibitors which are synthesized in the plant as a result of genetic manipulation. It also relates to transgenic monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants that contain genes that encode proteinase inhibitors or their precursors, plants that express these genes, and a method for controlling plant pests by exposing them to such a transgenic plant. Another subject is DNA sequences and vectors containing these sequences that encode proteinase inhibitors. |
