The level of resistance to the reniform nematode Rotylenchulus reniformis conferred on Arabidopsis thaliana by transgenic expression of proteinase inhibitors (PI) was studied over 40 days of infection. A cysteine PI differing from Oc-I expressed in rice seed by one amino acid (Oc-IΔD86) had a consid...
