“…The most well‐known bioactive oxylipin, JA, is biosynthesized from the fatty acid substrate α‐linolenic acid (α‐LeA) via the 13‐LOX pathway. Genetic and biochemical methods have been used to show that the 13‐LOX pathway and its products, such as JA and green leaf volatiles (GLVs) produced by the hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) pathway play important roles in direct and indirect induced defenses against herbivores in diverse dicot species, including tobacco (Halitschke and Baldwin , Kessler et al ), Arabidopsis (Chauvin et al , Garcia‐Marcos et al ) and potato (Royo et al ), and in monocots, including rice (Wang et al , Zhou et al ) and maize (Cho et al , Christensen et al ). However, little is known about the role of the 9‐LOX pathway in plant defenses against herbivores, although there is increasing evidence that the pathway influences plant development (Vellosillo et al , Gao et al ), stomatal closure (Montillet et al ), defense responses to pathogens (Gao et al , Montillet et al , Vellosillo et al ) and plant cell death (Sayegh‐Alhamdia et al , Hwang and Hwang , Garcia‐Marcos et al ).…”
