Abstract excerpt
'Superclones' are predominant and time-persistent genotypes, exhibiting constant fitness across different environments. However, causes of this ecological success are still unknown. Therefore, we studied the physiological mechanisms that could explain this success, evaluating the effects of wheat chemical defences on detoxification enzymes [cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450), glutathione S-transferases (GST),...
