Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Capana03g000103
• Gene Symbol: CaLOX2
• Gene Name: lipoxygenase 2
• Genome:
• Species: Capsicum annuum

Functional Descriptions:

• Involvement of sweet pepper CaLOX2 in jasmonate-dependent induced defence against Western flower thrips.
• Our data show that CaLOX2 is involved in jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis and mediates plant resistance.
• CaLOX2-silenced pepper plants exhibited enhanced susceptibility to thrips. This indicates that CaLOX2 mediates JA-dependent signaling, resulting in defense against thrips.
• Silencing of CaLOX2 in pepper plants through virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) resulted in low levels of CaLOX2 transcripts, as well as significant reduction in the accumulation of JA, and its derivatives, upon thrips feeding compared to control plants.
