Abstract excerpt
The present study was aimed at understanding the possible association of allene oxide synthase (AOS), an enzyme implicated in the octadecanoid pathway during the pearl millet-downy mildew interaction. AOS 13-HPOT (13-hydroperoxy-9,11,15-octadecatrienoic acid) metabolizing activity assays assessed in various pearl millet cultivars with differential resistances against downy mildew revealed a positive correlation...
