In this work, the role of jasmonic acid (JA) in leaf
senescence is examined. Exogenous application of JA caused premature senescence in attached and detached leaves in wild-type Arabidopsis but
failed to induce precocious senescence of JA-insensitive mutant coi1 plants, suggesting that the JA-signaling pathway is
required for JA to promote leaf senescence. JA levels in senescing
leaves are 4-fold higher than in non-senescing ones. Concurrent with the increase in JA level in senescing leaves, genes encoding the enzymes that catalyze most of the reactions of the JA biosynthetic pathway are differentially activated during leaf senescence in Arabidopsis, except for allene oxide synthase, which is
constitutively and highly expressed throughout leaf development.
Arabidopsis lipoxygenase 1 (cytoplasmic) expression is
greatly increased but lipoxygenase 2 (plastidial)
expression is sharply reduced during leaf senescence. Similarly,
AOC1 (allene oxide cyclase 1),
AOC2, and AOC3 are all up-regulated,
whereas AOC4 is down-regulated with the progression of
leaf senescence. The transcript levels of 12-oxo-PDA reductase
1 and 12-oxo-PDA reductase 3 also increase in
senescing leaves, as does PED1 (encoding a
3-keto-acyl-thiolase for  -oxidation). This represents the first
report, to our knowledge, of an increase in JA levels and expression of
oxylipin genes during leaf senescence, and indicates that JA may play a
role in the senescence program.
