Fungi and plants are rich sources of thousands of secondary metabolites. The genetically
coded possibilities for secondary metabolite production, the stimuli of the production, and …

Covering: 1986 to January 2011 Phytoalexins are antimicrobial secondary metabolites
produced de novo by plants in response to stress, including microbial attack. In general …

The glucosinolate pathway, which is present in the order Brassicales, is one of the most
researched defensive natural product biosynthesis pathways. Its core molecules, the …

To date, the many examples reporting that fungal pathogens can efficiently detoxify
phytoalexins provide strong evidence that the pathogenicity and/or virulence of some fungi …

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) have become a significant force in shaping the larger context
of insecticides within contemporary insect pest management schemes (Lord 2005; Roy et …

Cytochrome P450s (P450s) are key enzymes in the synthesis of bioactive natural products
in plants. Efforts to harness these enzymes for in vitro and whole-cell production of natural …

Phytoalexins (elicited antimicrobial plant defenses) that are resistant to pathogen
degradation provide the producing plants with higher disease resistance levels, and …

Oximes are unrecognized chameleons in general and specialized plant metabolism. E-and
