title: Lipoxygenases in early Brassica napus germination.
abstract: We have identified transcripts of two lipoxygenase (LOXs) from 3-day-germinated etiolated cotyledons. One encodes a soluble and the other encodes a plastid LOX. They are 2520 bp and 2676 bp in size, respectively. Antibodies raised against the C-terminal 500 amino acids of the plastid LOX recognize a 90 kDa LOX in 5-day-old etiolated and green cotyledons. In mature leaves a LOX of 95 kDa is detected. LOX activity and protein was mainly located in the cytosol.
