Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of a chemical plant defense mechanism in grasses
Monika Frey,Paul Chomet,Erich Glawischnig,Cornelia Stettner,Sebastian Grün,Albert Winklmair,Wolfgang Eisenreich,Adelbert Bacher,Robert B. Meeley,Steven P. Briggs,Kevin D. Simcox,Alfons Gierl +11 more
TL;DR: Five genes, Bx1 through Bx5, are required for DIBOA biosynthesis in maize and the functions of these five genes, clustered on chromosome 4, were demonstrated in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoring a maize root signal that attracts insect-killing nematodes to control a major pest
Jörg Degenhardt,Ivan Hiltpold,Tobias G. Köllner,Monika Frey,Alfons Gierl,Jonathan Gershenzon,Bruce E. Hibbard,Mark R. Ellersieck,Ted C. J. Turlings +8 more
TL;DR: In rootworm-infested field plots in which nematodes were released, the (E)-β-caryophyllene-emitting plants suffered significantly less root damage and had 60% fewer adult beetles emerge than untransformed, nonemitting lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indole is an essential herbivore-induced volatile priming signal in maize
Matthias Erb,Nathalie Veyrat,Christelle A. M. Robert,Hao Xu,Monika Frey,Jurriaan Ton,Ted C. J. Turlings +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that indole functions as a rapid and potent aerial priming agent that prepares systemic tissues and neighbouring plants for incoming attacks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzoxazinoid Metabolites Regulate Innate Immunity against Aphids and Fungi in Maize.
S. Ahmad,Nathalie Veyrat,Ruth Gordon-Weeks,Y. Zhang,Janet L. Martin,Lesley E. Smart,Gaétan Glauser,Matthias Erb,Victor Flors,Monika Frey,Jurriaan Ton +10 more
TL;DR: DIMBOA functions as a defense regulatory signal in maize innate immunity, which acts in addition to its well-characterized activity as a biocidal defense metabolite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzoxazinoid biosynthesis, a model for evolution of secondary metabolic pathways in plants.
TL;DR: Modelling and biochemical characterisation of IGLs reveal that the catalytic properties of the enzyme can easily be modified by mutation and independent evolution can be assumed for the BX1 function in dicots and Poaceae.
