 Among the diverse components of plant defense arsenals are proteins that interfere with herbivore digestion, Given some defense compound of plants in column I with its given action in column II

Column I	column II
I)  α-amylase inhibitors	a) Antidigestive proteins, block the action of herbivore proteolytic enzymes. After entering the herbivore’s digestive tract, they hinder protein digestion by binding tightly and specifically to the active site of protein-hydrolyzing enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin
II) Lectins	b) block the action of the starch-digesting enzyme
III) proteinase inhibitors	c) A defensive proteins that bind to carbohydrates or carbohydrate-containing proteins. After being ingested by an herbivore, bind to the epithelial cells lining the digestive tract and interfere with nutrient absorption

Correctly match the defence compound withits action on herbivore;

The systemic production of proteinase inhibitors in young tomato plants is triggered by a complex sequence of events such as;

1) Prosystemin is proteolytically processed to produce the short polypeptide called systemin

2) Systemin is then transported out of the wounded leaf via the phloem.

3) systemin is believed to bind to a site on the plasma membrane and initiate the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid

4) Wounded tomato leaves synthesize prosystemin, a large recursor protein

5) Systemin is released from damaged cells into the apoplast

6) Jasmonic acid eventually activates the expression of genes that encode proteinase inhibitors

Arrange the correct sequence of given above following statements ;
