Allelopathy is a biochemical interaction between plants in which a donor plant releases
secondary metabolites, allelochemicals, that are detrimental to the growth of its neighbours …

Allelopathic activity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has previously been associated with the
production of phenolic acids and flavonoids (PAF), benzoxazinones (BXZs) and …

The importance of understanding the biology of the mycotoxigenic fungus Fusarium
verticillioides and its various microbial and plant host interactions is critical given its threat to …

Root exudates contain specialised metabolites that shape the plant's root microbiome. How
host-specific microbes cope with these bioactive compounds, and how this ability affects root …

While fungal biotrophs are dependent on successfully suppressing/subverting host defenses
during their interaction with live cells, necrotrophs, due to their lifestyle are often confronted …

Increased understanding of the interactions between endophytic fungi and plants has led to
the discovery of a new generation of chemical compounds and processes between …

Plants synthesize a plethora of chemical defence compounds, which vary between
evolutionary lineages. We hypothesize that plants evolved the ability to utilize defence …

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive wheat diseases worldwide. To
understand the impact of human migration and changes in agricultural practices on crop …

Symbiosis with bacteria is widespread among eukaryotes, including fungi. Bacteria that live
within fungal mycelia (endohyphal bacteria) occur in many plant-associated fungi, including …

Benzoxazinoids, secondary metabolites of several Poaceae, and some benzoxazinoid
downstream metabolites are bioactive compounds that act as allelochemicals and natural …
