Sumario:The plants lacking a defense system based on similar antibodies to which exists in animals, bases their protection on physical characteristics and in a series of components that the own plant synthesizes. Inside those compounds, the proteins constitute one of the main defense sources, not only for their high specificity and efficiency, but because some of them are also highly regulated, their synthesis responding to the attack of the insects orby pathogens. These proteins represent an interesting alternative to produce plants with better resistance characteristics, since through breeding mechanisms or introducing the gene a susceptible plant, by means of the genetic engineering. The knowledge of its action mechanisms represents an important form to learn how to combat plagues and illnesses of the plants, without having to use compound highly polluting, like the commercial insecticides.
