Abstract

This paper will briefly review the biochemistry, molecular biology and functionality of alpha-dioxygenases from tobacco, Arabidopsis, cucumber, pea, rice and algae. Alpha-dioxygenase treated in this review has emerged as a third group of fatty acid dioxygenases along with lipoxygenases and endoperoxide synthases.
