Plant protease inhibitors are diverse in number and in specificity towards various
proteolytic enzymes. This book focuses on the isolation, structure, characterization,
physiochemical and physiological properties, synthesis, functions and mechanisms of
action of plant protease inhibitors. It deals with their inhibitory effects on insects and
pathogens and with their induction and introduction into plants by genetic engineering
for plant protection. The induced resistance of insects to the inhibitors and the hazards
to friendly insects are also discussed. Further, findings are presented on the cancer
chemopreventive properties of the inhibitors at the cellular, tissue and organ levels
and in the organism.
