Reduced benzoxazinoid defences favour maize beneficial colonisation by <i>Colletotrichum tofieldiae</i>
2026-08-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Specialised defence metabolites mediate plant–microbe interactions, but their regulation during beneficial associations in cereals remains poorly understood. Here we investigate how maize ( Zea mays ) chemical defences are modulated during interaction with the beneficial fungal endophyte Colletotrichum tofieldiae (strain Ct0861) to promote host growth. To elucidate the molecular basis of this...
