Article Synopsis
- Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a harmful mycotoxin that accumulates in cereal plants during fungal infection, leading to significant crop yield losses and grain contamination.
- Recent genetic and genomic research has helped to identify the mechanisms behind DON production and the environmental factors that affect its accumulation, as well as resistance traits in plants that can reduce DON levels.
- The review highlights current knowledge of DON biosynthesis and detoxification methods, and discusses future genetic engineering strategies aimed at creating more resistant wheat varieties to combat scab and reduce DON contamination.
Crop plants have coevolved phytohormone-mediated defenses to combat and/or repel their colonizers. The present study determined the effects of jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation during aphid infestation on the preference and performance of Takahashi (Hemiptera: Aphididae), and its potential role in fine-tuning hormone-dependent responses in XN979 wheat cultivar seedlings was evaluated via the transcriptional profiles of marker genes related to JA- and salicylic acid (SA)-dependent responses. The preference experiment and the life table data reveal that direct foliage spraying of 2.
