DIMBOA (2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one) is a naturally occurring hydroxamic acid, a benzoxazinoid. DIMBOA is a powerful antibiotic present in maize, wheat, rye, and related grasses,[1]

DIMBOA was first identified in maize in 1962 as the "corn sweet substance".[2] Etiolated maize seedlings have a very sweet, almost saccharin-like taste due to their high DIMBOA content.

The biosynthesis pathway from leading from maize primary metabolism to the production of DIMBOA has been fully identified.[3][4] DIMBOA is stored as an inactive precursor, DIMBOA-glucoside, which is activated by glucosidases in response to insect feeding,[1]

In maize, DIMBOA functions as natural defense against European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) larvae,[5][6] beet armyworms (Spodoptera exigua),[7] corn leaf aphids (Rhopalosiphum maidis),[8] other damaging insect pests, and pathogens, including fungi and bacteria.[1][9][10] The exact level of DIMBOA varies between individual plants,[11][12] but higher concentrations are typically found in young seedlings and the concentration decreases as the plant ages.[13] Natural variation in the Bx1 gene influences the DIMBOA content of maize seedlings.[11][14] In adult maize plants, the DIMBOA concentration is low, but it is induced rapidly in response to insect feeding.[15] The methyltransferases Bx10, Bx11, and Bx12 convert DIMBOA into HDMBOA (2-hydroxy-4,7-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one), which can be more toxic for insect herbivores.[12][7]

In addition to serving as a direct defensive compound due to its toxicity, DIMBOA can also function as a signaling molecule, leading to the accumulation of callose in response to treatment with chitosan (a fungal elicitor) and aphid feeding.[12][16]

DIMBOA can also form complexes with iron in the rhizosphere and thereby enhance maize iron supply.[17]

Specialized insect pests such as the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) can detect complexes between DIMBOA and iron and use these complexes for host identification and foraging.[17]
