Two soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] lipoxygenase cDNA clones were isolated
that represent lipoxygenase genes (designated LOX7 and LOX8) that display
increased expression in leaves following wounding. LOX7 and LOX8 were found
to be differentially expressed in soybean leaves after wounding. Increased
transcript levels of both genes were detected in wounded leaves within 8 h
after wounding, but only the expression of LOX7 displayed a systemic wound
response. Additionally, the elevated expression of LOX7 in wounded leaves
was transient. Twenty-four hours postwounding, LOX7 transcripts were no
longer detectable in leaves. In contrast, LOX8 transcript levels were
elevated in wounded leaves from 8 to 72 h after wounding. In addition,
treatment of soybean plants with methyl jasmonate resulted in higher levels
of both LOX7 and LOX8 transcripts in leaves. High levels of expression of
both genes were also detected in young leaves, flowers, and immature seed
pods, and increases in LOX7 and LOX8 transcripts were observed in leaves
following the removal of reproductive sink tissues. The expression of LOX7
and LOX8 in unwounded soybean tissues and increased expression following
wounding suggest that the lipoxygenases encoded by these genes may
participate in general physiological processes that are enhanced following
physical damage.
