Leaf lipoxygenases (LOX) are involved with important physiological processes such as plant growth and development, senescence, biosynthesis of regulatory molecules, and response to pathogens and insects. We did a biochemical evaluation of the LOX pathway of soybean leaves submitted to wounding in a normal genotype (IAC-100) and its counterpart lacking seed LOX (IAC-100 TN). Our results indicate that LOX activities in the different pHs and temperatures tended to be higher in the wounded plants compared to their respective controls. The K M app values at 168 h after wounding reached a minimum in both genotypes indicating that the plants respond by changing the leaf LOX pool. There was an increase on protease inhibitor levels in all time points after... |
