摘要：

Crop and grain feeding pests cause severe economical and social losses. A plant based defense mechanism of novel molecules present in few plant species could be the safe defense compound and impede the digestion process of different pests by inhibiting digestive enzyme to cause retard growth and lead to death. Accordingly an invention was carried out to screen the seeds of Prosopis juliflora a thorn less type xerophytic tree which never succumbs to pests damage because of presence of alpha-amylase and trypsin proteinase inhibitors. These inhibitors impede on the action of alpha-amylase enzyme so as to prevent digestion of carbohydrate and similarly on proteinase enzyme to prevent digestion of protein. Besides the seeds possess trypsin inhibitor activity with higher level on important pests. Both inhibitors would be useful in bringing defense mechanism in plants against insects since all kind of insects possess digestive enzymes for digesting carbohydrate and protein.
