Elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of cis-jasmone in Lasiodiplodia theobromae.

ABSTRACT: In plants, cis-jasmone (CJ) is synthesized from α-linolenic acid (LA) via two biosynthetic pathways using jasmonic acid (JA) and iso-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (iso-OPDA) as key intermediates. However, there have been no reports documenting CJ production by microorganisms. In the present study, the production of fungal-derived CJ by Lasiodiplodia theobromae was observed for the first time, although this production was not observed for Botrytis cinerea, Verticillium longisporum, Fusarium oxysporum, Gibberella fujikuroi, and Cochliobolus heterostrophus. To investigate the biosynthetic pathway of CJ in L. theobromae, administration experiments using [18,18,18-²H₃, 17,17-²H₂]LA (LA-d5), [18,18,18-²H₃, 17,17-²H₂
