Synthesis of Phytoalexins in Sorghum as a Site-Specific Response to Fungal Ingress
TL;DR: This site-restricted synthesis suggests that the phytoalexin response occurs initially in the first cells that come under fungal attack and is not simply a response of cells that surround the original infection site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and hydroxycinnamate: CoA ligase in maize mesocotyls inoculated with Helminthosporium maydis or Helminthosporium carbonum
D.P. Dickerson,Sérgio Florentino Pascholati,Ann E. Hagerman,Larry G. Butler,Ralph L. Nicholson +4 more
TL;DR: No significant change in PAL activity was observed in either resistant or susceptible combinations with H. maydis, suggesting that PAL and CoA ligase are not coordinately regulated in interactions involving this fungus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Biology of Corn Anthracnose: Knowledge to Exploit for Improved Management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of 3-deoxyanthocyanidin phytoalexins and resistance to Colletotrichum sublineolum in sorghum
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 3-deoxyanthocyanidin phytoalexins represent major components of resistance to C. sublineolum in sorghum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of light-induced anthocyanin accumulation in inoculated sorghum mesocotyls : Implications for a compensatory role in the defense response
TL;DR: The results suggest that the plant represses less essential metabolic activities such as anthocyanin synthesis as a means of compensating for the immediate biochemical and physiological needs for the defense response.
