Functional Descriptions:

• ZmBGLU17 confers resistance to both pathogens and insect pests in maize without a yield penalty, by fine-tuning the accumulation of lignin and DIMBOA.
• A β-glucosidase ZmBGLU17 was identified as a resistance gene against Pythium aphanidermatum, one of the causal agents of corn stalk rot, by genome-wide association analysis.
• ZmBGLU17 is significantly associated with Pythium stalk rot resistance.
• ZmBGLU17 confers resistance to both pathogen and herbivorous insect without yield penalty
• ZmBGLU17 overexpression lines exhibited normal growth and yield phenotype in the field.
