Phylogenomics of the benzoxazinoid biosynthetic pathway of Poaceae: gene duplications and origin of the <it>Bx</it> cluster
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The benzoxazinoids 2,4-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIBOA) and 2,4-dihydroxy-7- methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA), are key defense compounds present in major agricultural crops such as maize and wheat. Their biosynthesis invol...
