The oxylipins form a class of secondary metabolites generated from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) via the so-called lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway. This review concentrates on their role in plant defense against microbial invasion, with a special emphasis on the outcomes of functional genetics approaches in the branches initiated by CYP74 enzymes downstream of LOX action. These include allene oxide synthases (AOSs), hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs) and divinyl ether synthases (DESs). It also covers cross-talk with other signal molecules implicated in the defense response.

Abstract

The oxylipins form a class of secondary metabolites generated from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) via the so-called lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway. This review concentrates on their role in plant defense against microbial invasion, with a special emphasis on the outcomes of functional genetics approaches in the branches initiated by CYP74 enzymes downstream of LOX action. These include allene oxide synthases (AOSs), hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs) and divinyl ether synthases (DESs). It also covers cross-talk with other signal molecules implicated in the defense response.
