Abstract excerpt
Gramineous plants protect their seeds from a variety of biotic stresses by producing toxic and deterrent secondary metabolites such as benzoxazinoids. It is unclear how the composition and abundance of these natural toxins has changed over the course of crop-plant domestication. To address this uncertainty, we characterized differences in metabolic levels of benzoxazinoids and their derivatives, between four...
