Maize 9-Lipoxygenase ZmLOX3 Controls Development, Root-Specific Expression of Defense Genes, and Resistance to Root-Knot Nematodes

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are severe pests of maize. Although lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways and their oxylipin products have been implicated in plant–nematode interactions, prior to this report there was no conclusive genetic evidence for the function of any plant LOX gene in such interactions. We sho...
