Abstract excerpt
Plants biosynthesize a variety of bioactive lipid derivatives, such as green leaf volatiles (GLVs) and jasmonates (JAs). Here we identify a lipoxygenase 2 (LOX2) involved in GLV biosynthesis in Arabidopsis using mutant lines for each of the six LOX isoforms present in Arabidopsis. We found that formation of five carbon volatiles was also dependent on LOX2. LOX2 is known to be involved in formation of JA; thus,...
