Pathway Description
Jasmonic Acid Biosynthesis
Arabidopsis thaliana
Signaling Pathway
Jasmonic acid is an organic compound belonging to the family of jasmonates compounds found in many plants including jasmine. It functions as a phytohormone and is involved in many crucial physiological roles associated with plant growth and reproduction. Jasmonic acid is also commonly employed by plants as a defense mechanism. Jasmonic acid is synthesized from alpha-linoleic acid in a multi-step reaction in the chloroplast that yields dinor-12-oxo-phytodienoate (OPDA) before being transported onto the peroxisome where three enzymes -- acyl coenzyme A oxidase, OPC4-3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, and peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation multifunctional protein A1M1 -- play important roles in the final synthesis alongside coenzyme A.
