Molecular investigation of proteinase inhibitor (PI) gene in tomato plants induced by Meloidogyne species
Abstract Background The plant parasitic nematode genus Meloidogyne parasitize almost all flowering crops. Plants respond with a variety of morphological and molecular mechanisms to reduce the effects of pathogens. Proteinase inhibitors (PI), a special group of plant proteins which are small proteins...
