Insect Amylase-Plant Amylase Inhibitor Interaction is Key to Success of Transgenics Against Insectherbivory

Rimaljeet Kaur and Anil Kumar Gupta

Amylase is an important digestive enzyme required for the optimal growth and development of insects. They improve insect digestive capacity, help them to survive in diverse conditions and increase their fitness value. Due to their important biochemical role in insect growth and development, when the action of this enzyme is inhibited, insect nutrition is impaired, its growth and development is retarded and eventually death occurs due to starvation.
