Maintaining high proteinase inhibitor concentrations in plant tissues would be problematic when there would be no herbivores present.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Maintaining high proteinase inhibitor concentrations in plant tissues would be problematic when there would be no herbivores present.
  • Proteinase inhibitors are found in plants belonging to a variety of systematic groups
  • Proteinase inhibitors (PI) are there present in the plant tissues, especially in seeds
  • The food chain would become limited to producers, suppliers and decomposers.
  • This mite is present in agricultural soils and participatesin the process of organic matter for decomposition.
  • for the above reason it will be exposed to the PI .
