Identity, regulation, and activity of inducible diterpenoid phytoalexins in maize
Phytoalexins constitute a broad category of pathogen- and insect-inducible biochemicals that locally protect plant tissues. Because of their agronomic significance, maize and rice have been… Expand

Novel Acidic Sesquiterpenoids Constitute a Dominant Class of Pathogen-Induced Phytoalexins in Maize1[W][OA]
Nonvolatile terpenoid phytoalexins occur throughout the plant kingdom, but until recently were not known constituents of chemical defense in maize (Zea mays). We describe a novel family of ubiquitous… Expand

Oxidative Responses of Resistant and Susceptible Cereal Leaves to Symptomatic and Nonsymptomatic Cereal Aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Feeding
Abstract The impact of the leaf-chlorosis-eliciting Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), and the nonchlorosis-eliciting bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), feeding on D.… Expand

Physiological and Growth Tolerance in Wheat to Russian Wheat Aphid (Homoptera: Aphididae) Injury
Plant tolerance to injury from insect herbivores has several advantages as a pest management approach. However, its use is limited because mechanisms conferring plant tolerance are not well… Expand

Potential shortfall of pyramided transgenic cotton for insect resistance management
To delay evolution of pest resistance to transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), the “pyramid” strategy uses plants that produce two or more toxins that… Expand

Identification of aflatoxin B1 on maize kernel surfaces using hyperspectral imaging
Abstract A shortwave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging system with wavelength range between 1000 and 2500 nm was used to assess the potential to detect aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) contaminants on the… Expand

Environmental influences on maize-Aspergillus flavus interactions and aflatoxin production
Since the early 1960s, the fungal pathogen Aspergillus flavus (Link ex Fr.) has been the focus of intensive research due to the production of carcinogenic and highly toxic secondary metabolites… Expand

Physiological, Nutritional, and Biochemical Bases of Corn Resistance to Foliage-Feeding Fall Armyworm
Three corn (Zea mays) germplasm lines [i.e., Ab24E (susceptible control), Mp708 (resistant control), and a locally selected partial inbred line FAW7050 (resistant)] were examined for Spodoptera… Expand

Enzymatic chlorophyll degradation in wheat near-isogenic lines elicited by cereal aphid (Homoptera: Aphididae) feeding.
Chlorophyll degradation enzyme (i.e., chlorophyllase, Mg-dechelatase, and chlorophyll oxidase) activities of aphid-infested and uninfested 'Tugela' and Tugela near-isogenic wheat lines (i.e.,… Expand

Comparative molecular and biochemical characterization of segmentally duplicated 9-lipoxygenase genes ZmLOX4 and ZmLOX5 of maize
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) catalyze hydroperoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to form structurally and functionally diverse oxylipins. Precise physiological and biochemical functions of… Expand
