Plant oxylipins are a diverse class of lipid metabolites that are derived from the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Oxylipins formed in plants include fatty acid hydroperoxides, hydroxy-, oxo-, or keto-fatty acids, divinyl ethers, volatile aldehydes, or the plant hormone Jasmonic Acid (JA).

Allene oxide synthase (AOS / CYP74A1/ EC 4.2.1.92) is a member of the cytochrome P450 subfamily 74 (CYP74) of P450 enzymes. It plays an important role in oxylipin metabolism and signalling in plant defence.
Divinyl ether PUFAs
Metabolite
Divinyl ether synthase
GeneProduct
Divinyl ether synthase (DES) catalyzes the conversion of fatty acid hydroperoxides into divinyl ether fatty acids. It is localized in the cytoplasm.
OPDA-reductase 3 (OPR3) reduces 12-OPDA into 3-oxo-2-(2-pentenyl)-cyclo-pentane-1-octanoic acid (OPC-8:0), which is transformed to JA by three rounds of β-oxidation
