    Cis(+)-12-Oxophytodienoic Acid Analysis Service

      Cis(+)-12-Oxophytodienoic Acid (OPDA) is a crucial intermediate in the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid, a plant hormone that plays a significant role in plant defense mechanisms and developmental processes. Structurally, OPDA is a cyclopentenone derivative, formed through the oxidation of linolenic acid via the octadecanoid pathway. The formation of OPDA involves the action of several key enzymes, including lipoxygenase (LOX), allene oxide synthase (AOS), and allene oxide cyclase (AOC), which together convert linolenic acid into OPDA within the chloroplast.

       

      Once synthesized, OPDA can act directly as a signaling molecule, influencing gene expression related to plant defense and growth. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for the production of jasmonic acid through subsequent reductions and β-oxidation steps in the peroxisome. The conversion of OPDA to jasmonic acid is tightly regulated and is crucial for the activation of plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, including herbivory, wounding, and pathogen attacks.

       

      Research on OPDA is vital for understanding the intricate networks that regulate plant stress responses and development. By investigating the levels and activity of OPDA, scientists can gain insights into the plant's defense mechanisms and identify potential strategies for enhancing crop protection and productivity.
