BERGER, S.; Weichert, H.; Porzel, A.; Wasternack, C.; Kühn, H.; Feussner, I.; Enzymatic and non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation in leaf development BBA-Mol. Cell Biol. Lipids 1533, 266-276, (2001) DOI: 10.1016/S1388-1981(01)00161-5

Enzymatic and non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation has been implicated in programmed cell death, which is a major process of leaf senescence. To test this hypothesis we developed a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for a simultaneous analysis of the major hydro(pero)xy polyenoic fatty acids. Quantities of lipid peroxidation products in leaves of different stages of development including natural senescence indicated a strong increase in the level of oxygenated polyenoic fatty acids (PUFAs) during the late stages of leaf senescence. Comprehensive structural elucidation of the oxygenation products by means of HPLC, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance suggested a non-enzymatic origin. However, in some cases a small share of specifically oxidized PUFAs was identified suggesting involvement of lipid peroxidizing enzymes. To inspect the possible role of enzymatic lipid peroxidation in leaf senescence, we analyzed the abundance of lipoxygenases (LOXs) in rosette leaves of Arabidopsis. LOXs and their product (9Z,11E,13S,15Z)-13-hydroperoxy-9,11,15-octadecatrienoic acid were exclusively detected in young green leaves. In contrast, in senescing leaves the specific LOX products were overlaid by large amounts of stereo-random lipid peroxidation products originating from non-enzymatic oxidation. These data indicate a limited contribution of LOXs to total lipid peroxidation, and a dominant role of non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation in late stages of leaf development.

Weichert, H.; Kohlmann, M.; Wasternack, C.; Feussner, I.; Metabolic profiling of oxylipins upon sorbitol treatment in barley leaves Biochem. Soc. Trans. 28, 861-862, (2001) DOI: 10.1042/bst0280861

In barley leaves 13-lipoxygenases (LOXs) are induced by salicylate and jasmonate. Here, we analyse by metabolic profiling the accumulation of oxylipins upon sorbitol treatment. Although 13-LOX-derived products are formed and specifically directed into the reductase branch of the LOX pathway, accumulation is much later than in the cases of salicylate and jasmonate treatment. In addition, under these conditions only the accumulation of jasmonates as additional products of the LOX pathway has been found.

Li, G.; Riaz, A.; Goyal, S.; Abel, S.; Quiros, C. F.; Inheritance of Three Major Genes Involved in the Synthesis of Aliphatic Glucosinolates in Brassica oleracea J. Am. Soc. Hortic. Sci. 126, 427-431, (2001) DOI: 10.21273/JASHS.126.4.427

Inheritance of three major genes involved in synthesis of aliphatic glucosinolates (GSL) was followed in segregating populations of Brassica oleracea L. generated from three crosses: broccoli × cauliflower, collard × broccoli, and collard × cauliflower. Two of these genes, GSL-PRO and GSL-ELONG, regulate sidechain length. The action of the former results in three-carbon GSL, whereas action of the latter produces four-carbon GSL. We determined that these two genes act and segregate independently from each other in B. oleracea. The double recessive genotype produces only trace amounts of aliphatic GSL. The third gene, GSL-ALK controls sidechain desaturation and, as it has been observed in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., we found that this gene cosegregates with a fourth gene, GSL-OH, that is responsible for sidechain hydroxylation. Elucidation of the inheritance of major genes controlling biosynthesis of GSL will allow for manipulation of these genes and facilitate development of lines with specific GSL profiles. This capability will be important for improvement of Brassica breeding lines with high content of desirable GSL, like glucoraphanin, a demonstrated precursor of anticarcinogenic compounds. Additionally, this work is the first step towards cloning the major genes of the aliphatic GSL pathway, and to use these clones in transformation strategies for further crop enhancement.

Feussner, I.; Kühn, H.; Wasternack, C.; Lipoxygenase-dependent degradation of storage lipids Trends Plant Sci. 6, 268-273, (2001) DOI: 10.1016/S1360-1385(01)01950-1

Oilseed germination is characterized by the mobilization of storage lipids as a carbon source for the germinating seedling. In spite of the importance of lipid mobilization, its mechanism is only partially understood. Recent data suggest that a novel degradation mechanism is initiated by a 13-lipoxygenase during germination, using esterified fatty acids specifically as substrates. This 13-lipoxygenase reaction leads to a transient accumulation of ester lipid hydroperoxides in the storage lipids, and the corresponding oxygenated fatty acid moieties are preferentially removed by specific lipases. The free hydroperoxy fatty acids are subsequently reduced to their hydroxy derivatives, which might in turn undergo β-oxidation.

Hause, B.; Hertel, S. C.; Klaus, D.; Wasternack, C.; Cultivar-Specific Expression of the Jasmonate-Induced Protein of 23 kDa (JIP-23) Occurs in Hordeum vulgare L. by Jasmonates but not During Seed Germination Plant Biol. 1, 83-89, (1999) DOI: 10.1111/j.1438-8677.1999.tb00712.x

Treatment of barley leaf segments with jasmonic acid methyl ester (JM) leads to the accumulation of a set of newly formed abundant proteins. Among them, the most abun dant protein exhibits a molecular mass of 23 kDa (JIP‐23). Here, data are presented on the occurrence and expression of the lIP‐23 genes in different cultivars of Hordeum vulgare . Southern blot analysis of 80 cultivars revealed the occurrence of 2 to 4 genes coding for JIP‐23 in all cultivars. By means of Northern blot and immunoblot analysis it is shown that some cultivars lack the ex pression of jip‐23 upon treatment of primary leaves with JM as well as upon stress performed by incubation with 1 M sorbitol solution. During germination, however, all tested cultivars ex hibited developmental expression of jip‐23 . The results are dis cussed in terms of possible functions of JIP‐23 in barley.

Hause, B.; Vörös, K.; Kogel, K.-H.; Besser, K.; Wasternack, C.; A Jasmonate-responsive Lipoxygenase of Barley Leaves is Induced by Plant Activators but not by Pathogens J. Plant Physiol. 154, 459-462, (1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0176-1617(99)80283-1

Using the recently isolated eDNA clone LOX2 : Hv : 1 which codes for the most abundant jasmonateinducible lipoxygenase (LOX) in barley leaves (Vörös et al., 1998), we analysed the capability of different activators of systemic activated resistance (SAR) to induce the expression of that LOX. Upon treatment of barley leaves with salicylate, 2,6-dichloroisonicotinic acid and benzo-(1,2,3)-thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester, all these compounds were able to induce the expression of the LOX2 : Hv : 1 gene, whereas upon infection with the powdery mildew fungus (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei) mRNA accumulation was not detectable in compatible or in incompatible interactions. The induction of the LOX2 : Hv : 1 protein by SAR activators and the expression of different sets of genes induced by jasmonate and salicylate, respectively, are discussed in relation to defense responses against pathogenic fungi.

Ortel, B.; Atzorn, R.; Hause, B.; Feussner, I.; Miersch, O.; Wasternack, C.; Jasmonate-induced gene expression of barley (Hordeum vulgare) leaves - the link between jasmonate and abscisic acid Plant Growth Regul. 29, 113-122, (1999) DOI: 10.1023/A:1006212017458

In barley leaves a group of genes is expressed in response to treatment with jasmonates and abscisic acid (ABA) [21]. One of these genes coding for a jasmonate-induced protein of 23 kDa (JIP-23) was analyzed to find out the link between ABA and jasmonates by recording its expression upon modulating independently, the endogenous level of both of them. By use of inhibitors of JA synthesis and ABA degradation, and the ABA-deficient mutant Az34, as well as of cultivar-specific differences, it was shown that endogenous jasmonate increases are necessary and sufficient for expression of this gene. The endogenous rise of ABA did not induce synthesis of JIP-23, whereas exogenous ABA did not act via jasmonates. Different signalling pathways are suggested and discussed.

Miersch, O.; Kramell, R.; Parthier, B.; Wasternack, C.; Structure–activity relations of substituted, deleted or stereospecifically altered jasmonic acid in gene expression of barley leaves Phytochemistry 50, 353-361, (1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0031-9422(98)00597-4

Jasmonic acid and 66 structurally related compounds were tested to find the structural requirements which induce the expression of jasmonate-responsive genes in barley. An intact cyclopentanone ring as well as a pentenyl side chain exhibiting only minor alterations are necessary for this activity. The (−)-enantiomeric and the (+)-7-iso-enantiomeric structure increase activity of jasmonoyl compounds.

Miersch, O.; Porzel, A.; Wasternack, C.; Microbial conversion of jasmonates - hydroxylations by Aspergillus niger Phytochemistry 50, 1147-1152, (1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0031-9422(98)00698-0

Aspergillus niger is able to hydroxylate the pentenyl side chain of (−)-jasmonic acid (JA) leading to (11S)- (−)-hydroxy-JA/ (11R)- (−)-hydroxy-JA (2:1) and (−)-11,12-didehydro-JA. Methyl (−)-jasmonate (JA-Me) is converted upon hydrolysis. During prolonged cultivation or at non-optimized isolation procedures, the 11-hydroxy- (9Z)-pentenyl side chain may isomerize to (10E)-9-hydroxy- and (9E)-11-hydroxy-compounds by allylic rearrangement. The fungus hydroxylates (±)-9,10-dihydro-JA at position C-11 into 11j-hydroxy-9,10-dihydro-JA. As JA-Me, the methyl dihydro-JA is hydroxylated only upon hydrolysis into the free acid.

Miersch, O.; Bohlmann, H.; Wasternack, C.; Jasmonates and related compounds from Fusarium oxysporum Phytochemistry 50, 517-523, (1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0031-9422(98)00596-2

The culture filtrate of Fusarium oxysporum f sp matthiolae was inspected on the occurrence of jasmonates and related compounds. Among compounds described for the first time of biological origin are 7-iso-cucurbic acid, (1S,2S)- and (1S,2R)-3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentane-1-butyric acid, (1S,2S)- and (1S,2R)-3-oxo-2-(2Z-pentenyl)cyclopentane-1-hexanoic acid, (1S,2S)- and (1S,2R)-3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentane-1-hexanoic acid, (1S,2S)-3-oxo-2-(2Z-pentenyl)cyclopentane-1-octanoic acid, (1S,2S)-3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentane-1-octanoic acid and N-[9,10-dihydro-7-iso-jasmonoyl]-(S)-isoleucine. The following metabolites were identified for the first time for this fungus: (−)-Jasmonic acid, 9,10-dihydrojasmonic acid and N-[(−)-jasmonoyl-(S)]-isoleucine were major constituents of the culture filtrate, whereas as minor metabolites occurred N-[9,10-dihydrojasmonoyl]-(S)-isoleucine, cucurbic acid and 3-oxo-2-(2Z-pentenyl)cyclopentane-1-butyric acid, 3-oxo-2-(2Z-pentenyl)cyclopentane-1-octanoic acid and 3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentane-1-octanoic acid. All cyclopentanones found carried a cis- or trans-attached side chain. Didehydro-jasmonates, hydroxylated jasmonates or 12-oxophytodienoic acid could not be detected in the culture filtrate.
