Abstract:Synthetic fungicides have effectively controlled plant pathogenic fungi but their continued use has been detrimental to natural biological systems, and sometimes resulted into development of fungal resistance. They also have undesirable effects on non-target organisms and foster environmental and human health concerns thus new biodegradable alternatives have to be investigated. Lipoxygenases (LOX) are ubiquitous non-heme Iron containing dioxygenases that catalyze the addition of molecular oxygen to Polyunsatur… Show more
