Abstract
⺠Protease inhibitors from plants are involved in defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. ⺠Thirteen cystatins (HvCPI-1 to 13) and the trypsin inhibitor BTI-CMe are protease inhibitors from barley. ⺠Barley cystatins and BTI-CMe are able to inhibit the in vitro growth of phytopathogenic fungi. ⺠Barley cystatins and BTI-CMe are not able to inhibit the in vitro growth of phytopathogenic bacteria. ⺠Transgenic plants expressing the HvCPI-6 or BTI-CMe proteins are not resistant to fungal and bacterial pathogens.
