Abstract
An essential step in jasmonate biosynthesis is catalyzed by the allene oxide cyclase (AOC). The tomato AOC promoter was isolated, and its activity was analyzed in tomato and tobacco in respect to environmental and developmental stimuli using the GUS reporter gene. In cross-sections of tomato petioles, activity was detected preferentially in vascular bundles but only upon wounding of a leaflet (below).
