Sequence analysis and molecular cloning of enzyme inhibitors from seeds of rye {secale cereale l) [PDF]
, 1990 Inhibitors of trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) and a-amylase (1,4-a-D-glucan glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) were purified from seeds of rye and their complete and partial amino-acid sequences, respectively, were determined, in part by homology. The trypsin inhibitor

Pollination in Nicotiana alata stimulates synthesis and transfer to the stigmatic surface of NaStEP, a vacuolar Kunitz proteinase inhibitor homologue [PDF]
After landing on a wet stigma, pollen grains hydrate and germination generally occurs. However, there is no certainty of the pollen tube growth through the style to reach the ovary. The pistil is a gatekeeper that evolved in many species to recognize and
