摘要

Aprotinin has been found to be larvicidal against a number of common insect pests of agricultural crops and stored grains, particularly in combination with an insecticidal or larvicidal lectin. In a preferred embodiment, plant resistance to these insects is produced by inserting into the cells of a plant a gene whose expression causes production of one or more of these proteinase inhibitors in combination with such a lectin, in larvicidal amounts.
