[Plant proteinase inhibitors as polyfunctional proteins (a review)]
Abstract
Literature data on plant proteinase inhibitors as multifunctional proteins are reviewed. In addition to the direct inhibitory effect on enzymes, these proteins may function in other processes, particularly under biotic and environmental stressful conditions. A special section discusses the relationships of plant proteinase inhibitors and storage proteins.
