Both herbivory and jasmonic acid (JA) activate the biosynthesis of defensive metabolites in maize, but mechanism underlying this remains unclear. We generated maize mutants which ZmMYC2a ZmMYC2b, two transcription factor genes important JA signaling, were individually or both knocked out. Genetic biochemical analyses used to elucidate functions ZmMYC2 proteins response simulated JA. Compared with wild-type (WT) double mutant myc2ab was highly susceptible insects, levels benzoxazinoids...
Abstract Touch induces marked morphological changes in plants, including reduced rosette diameters and delayed flowering, a process called thigmomorphogenesis. Previous studies have revealed that thigmomorphogenesis Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) results from touch-induced accumulation of jasmonic acid (JA) GIBBERELLIN 2-OXIDASE7 (GA2ox7) transcripts, which encode gibberellin (GA) catabolism enzyme, leading to levels active GAs. However, the mechanisms underlying remain uncharacterized....
