Characterisation of phytoalexin accumulation in maize inoculated with Cercospora zeina, the causal organism of grey leaf spot disease
Grey Leaf Spot (GLS) is a fungal disease of Zea mays (maize) that is caused by Cercospora zeina. It thrives in sub-tropical climates and causes devastating crop losses of up to 60% in southern Africa where maize is grown as a staple food source. Phytoalexins are low molecular weight anti-microbial b...
