Modulation of Aleurone Peroxidases in Kernels of Insect-Resistant Maize ( L.; Pob84-C3R) After Mechanical and Insect Damage.

Peroxidases (PODs) have many biological functions during the plant life cycle. In maize kernels, endosperm PODs have been identified as biochemical contributors to resistance against , but their identities have not been determined. In this study, we identified these PODs and determined whether their contributions are basal or inducible.
