Prone to attacks by pathogens and pests, plants employ intricate chemical defense
mechanisms consisting of metabolic adaptations. However, many plant attackers are
manipulating the host metabolism to counteract defense responses and to induce favorable
nutritional conditions. Advances in analytical chemistry have allowed the generation
of extensive metabolic profiles during plant-pathogen and pest interactions. Thereby,
metabolic processes were found to be highly specific for given tissues, species, and plantpathogen/pest
interactions. The clusters of identified compounds not only serve as base
in the quest of novel defense compounds, but also as markers for the characterization of
the plants’ defensive state. The latter is especially useful in agronomic applications where
meaningful markers are essential for crop protection. Cereals such as maize make use of
their metabolic arsenal during both local and systemic defense responses, and the chemical
response is highly adapted to specific attackers. Here, we summarize highlights and recent
findings of metabolic patterns of cereals under pathogen and pest attack. [-]
