Abstract Two major groups of specialized metabolites in maize (Zea mays), termed kauralexins and dolabralexins, serve as known or predicted diterpenoid defenses against pathogens, herbivores, other environmental stressors. To consider the physiological roles recently discovered dolabralexin pathway, we examined structural diversity, tissue-specificity, stress-elicited production a defined biosynthetic pathway mutant. Metabolomics analyses support larger number products than previously known....
Abstract Specialized metabolites constitute key layers of immunity underlying crop resistance; however, challenges in resolving complex pathways limit our understanding their functions and applications. In maize ( Zea mays ) the inducible accumulation acidic terpenoids is increasingly considered as a defense regulating disease resistance. To understand antibiotic biosynthesis, we integrated association mapping, pan-genome multi-omic correlations, enzyme structure-function studies, targeted...
