title: Heterologous expression of corn cystatin in soybean and effect on growth of the stink bug.
abstract: The bean bug (Riptortus clavatus) is a serious insect pest of soybean. Corn (maize) cystatin strongly inhibited the activity of its digestive cysteine proteinase. Heterologous expression of corn cystatin in soybean seeds inhibited the insect's proteases, but not its growth.
