Oxylipins are an important class of signaling molecules in plants, which play an important role in plant defence and innate immunity. Oxylipins have critical roles in plant growth and plant responses to physical damage caused by herbivores, insects, and pathogenic microbes. Over the last decade, our understanding of oxylipin production, metabolism, and function, particularly jasmonates, has advanced considerably. Jasmonates have provided further mechanistic insights into enzyme function and signalling cascades. Other oxylipins, such as hydroxy fatty acids, have recently been shown to exhibit individual signaling features and crosstalk with other phytohormones.
