An herbivore elicitor activates the gene for indole emission in maizeM Frey
Lehrstuhl fur Genetik, Technische Universitat Munchen, Lichtenbergstrasse 4, 85747 Garching, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 97:14801-6. 2000..Gene-sequence analysis indicates that Igl and Bx1 are evolutionarily related to the tryptophan synthase alpha subunit...
Evolution of benzoxazinone biosynthesis and indole production in maizeA Gierl
Lehrstuhl fur Genetik, Technische Universitat Munchen, Garching, Germany
Planta 213:493-8. 2001..Indole can either function as a volatile signal or be converted by specific cytochrome P450 enzymes into benzoxazinoids, which function as important defense chemicals...
Analysis of a chemical plant defense mechanism in grassesM Frey
Institut fur Genetik, Technische Universitat Munchen, Lichtenbergstrasse 4, 85747 Garching, Germany
Science 277:696-9. 1997..Bx2 through Bx5 encode cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases that catalyze four consecutive hydroxylations and one ring expansion to form the highly oxidized DIBOA...
Two glucosyltransferases are involved in detoxification of benzoxazinoids in maizeU von Rad
Lehrstuhl fur Genetik, Technische Universitat Munchen, Lichtenbergstrasse 4, 85747 Garching, Germany
Plant J 28:633-42. 2001..Bx9 mapped to chromosome 1. Expression of Bx8 and Bx9 in Arabidopsis corroborated the potency of the enzymes in detoxification of their substrates. This capacity might have implications for allelopathic interactions...
