Abstract excerpt
As a signaling molecule, jasmonate plays a crucial role in orchestrating plant defense responses to a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses. Allene oxide cyclase (AOC: EC5.3.99.6) catalyzes the most important step in the jasmonate biosynthesis pathway. Six AOC genes were isolated from soybean, randomly distributed on chromosomes 1, 2, 8, 13, 18 and 19. The six AOC proteins were clustered into three groups with...
