Summary

A complex of protease inhibitor activities has been detected in the hemolymph of the 6th instarAnticarsia gemmatalis larvae that are resistant to infection by the fungusNomuraea rileyi. A site-specific serine protease inhibitor extracted fromA. gemmatalis hemolymph inhibits both the germination ofN. rileyi conidia and subsequent germ tube development.
