When toxins enter a plant, they most likely travel through the apoplastic pathway, which involves movement through the spaces between cells and cell walls. This pathway allows for relatively unrestricted flow, enabling toxins to quickly spread throughout the plant tissues. Alternatively, toxins can also enter through the symplastic pathway, moving from cell to cell via plasmodesmata, but the apoplastic route is generally the first line of transport. Ultimately, the specific pathway may depend on the type of toxin and the plant's response mechanisms.
Xylem
The first pathway of photosynthesis is the light reaction, which is the absorption of light energy from the sun by the chlorophyll in the plant. The pathway that follows this is the dark reaction or carbon fixation.
No, maize is not a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. Maize follows the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which is different from the CAM pathway in terms of carbon fixation and timing of metabolic processes.
The pathway that the toxins would most likely follow on first entering the plant is PHLOEM.

The toxins injected by aphids during feeding mostly affect the plant's phytohormone pathways, disrupting the normal growth and development processes. This interference can lead to stunted growth, reduced yield, and overall weakened plant health.
