LOX and infection: To gain further insights into the potential role of any LOX gene in maize interactions with A. flavus, we have mined the results of RNAseq transcriptome analyses of maize kernels infected by either toxigenic or atoxigenic strains of A. flavus, strain 3357 and strain 21881, respectively, or mock-treated (inoculated with water) under field conditions 3 days post infection (Table 4).
