MeSH headings : Benzoxazines; Chromosome Mapping; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic; Kinetics; Mutation; Oxazines; Phenotype; Tryptophan / biosynthesis; Tryptophan Synthase / genetics; Zea mays / enzymology; Zea mays / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Allelopathy and phytotoxic interactions; Biochemical and biochemical processes; Plant and fungal interactions
TL;DR: It is shown that feeding indole to bxbx seedlings restores their ability to synthesize DIMBOA, and it is proposed that the maize enzyme initially named tryptophan synthase alpha in fact is a DIM BOA biosynthetic enzyme, and this work proposes that it be renamed indole synthase.
