Analysis of Plant Oxylipins in Plant-Pathogen Interactions

Plant oxylipins are a large group of structurally and functionally diverse metabolites that are produced following the oxidation and further conversions of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The production of plant oxylipins are specifically induced upon inoculation with plant pests or pathogens, suggesting a crucial role for these compounds in plant defense. Some oxylipins are essential components of plant signaling pathways, such as jasmonate (JA), an important defense phytohormone. Some oxylipins have direct anti-pathogen effects. For example, oxylipins derived from the 9-lipoxygenase (9-LOX) and α-dioxygenase (α-DOX) pathways exhibit strong action against bacterial infections.

Understanding the impact of oxylipins amount, composition, and structure on plant-pathogen interactions will facilitate the development of promising plant protection strategies. STEMart helps detect changes in the type and content of plant oxylipins in plant-pathogen interactions. We also help to explore the mechanisms of plant protection-related effects of different plant oxylipins.
