SzMBL1 , a metallo-β-lactamase gene in Sarocladium zeae , confers tolerance to the maize phytoanticipin 2-benzoxazolinone

ABSTRACT Maize produces pre-formed secondary metabolites with antimicrobial and invertebrate anti-herbivory properties. Fusarium verticillioides , a mycotoxigenic maize pathogen, detoxifies the maize phytoanticipin 2-benzoxazolinone (BOA) through gene action of FvMBL1, which enco...
