Inhibitors of plant proteases can regulate the hydrolysis of proteins inside the cells and also participate in the mechanisms of plant defense against herbivore insects and pathogens. Here, we demonstrated that seeds of Eucalyptus urophylla exhibit activities of trypsin and papain inhibitors, two proteases commonly found in living cells. Low amounts of proteins of the crude protein extract of seeds and fractions partially purified by gel filtration, with inhibitory activity against trypsin, inhibited in vitro the mycelial growth of a compatible isolate of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius and allowed an unsatisfactory growth of another isolate from Pinus taeda, considered incompatible for this eucalyptus species. The same amounts of inhibitory proteins, when tested in vitro on the pathogen Rhizoctonia solani, did not exhibit any effect on the growth of the pathogen. These results indicate the existence of proteases inhibitors in seeds of E. urophylla which could influence the complex biochemical system that differentiates mechanisms of symbiosis and pathogenicity between plants and microorganisms. Os inibidores de proteases de plantas podem regular a hidrólise de proteínas no interior celular e também participar de seus mecanismos de defesa contra insetos herbívoros e patógenos. No presente trabalho, nós demonstramos que sementes de Eucalyptus urophylla apresentam atividades de inibidores de tripsina e papaína, duas proteases comumente encontradas em seres vivos. Pequenas quantidades de proteínas do extrato protéico bruto de sementes e de frações parcialmente purificadas por filtração em gel, com atividade inibitória de tripsina, inibiram o crescimento micelial in vitro de um isolado compatível do fungo ectomicorrízico Pisolithus tinctorius e permitiram um crescimento insatisfatório de outro isolado de Pinus taeda, considerado compatível para esta espécie de eucalipto. As mesmas concentrações de proteínas, quando testadas in vitro sobre o patógeno Rhizoctonia solani, não demonstraram qualquer efeito sobre seu crescimento. Estes resultados indicam a existência de inibidores de proteases em sementes de E. urophylla, os quais poderiam influenciar o complexo sistema bioquímico que diferencia mecanismos de simbiose e patogenicidade entre plantas e microrganismos
