| Abstract | The primary objective of this research was to identify, isolate and clone a proteinase inhibitor from the haemolymph of a canegrub species with activity against the major midgut proteases of the source insect. The potential for using this canegrub-derived proteinase inhibitor as a novel source of insect resistance in transgenic sugarcane was also to be determined. The project has formed the basis of a PhD thesis submitted to the Queensland University of Technology. |
