Abstract excerpt
Benzoxazinones (Bxs) are representative defensive compounds in gramineous plants, including wheat (genus Triticum) and its wild relative species (genus Aegilops). Bx production was found to be variable among three diploid wheat species with the same A genome as hexaploid wheat (2n=6x=42, genomes AABBDD). All accessions of Triticum monococcum (2n=2x=14, AA) and Triticum urartu (2n=2x=14, AA) accumulated Bxs, but...
