Enzyme 12-oxophytodienoate (OPDA) reductase (EC1.3.1.42), which is involved in the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid (JA), catalyses the reduction of 10, 11-double bonds of OPDA to yield 3-oxo-2-(2′-pentenyl)-cyclopentane-1-octanoic acid (OPC-8:0). The riceOsOPR1gene encodes OPDA reductase (OPR) converting (−)-cis-OPDA preferentially, rather than (+)-cis-OPDA, a natural precursor of JA. Here, we provide evidence that an OPR family gene in rice chromosome 8, designatedOsOPR7, encodes the enzyme involved in the JA biosynthesis. Recombinant OsOPR7-His protein efficiently catalysed the reduction of both enantiomers ofcis-OPDA, similar to the OPR3 protein inArabidopsisthaliana(L.) Heynh. The expression ofOsOPR7mRNA was induced and reached maximum levels within 0.5 h of mechanical wounding and drought stress, and the endogenous JA level started to increase in accordance with the increase inOsOPR7expression. The GFP-OsOPR7 fusion protein was detected exclusively in peroxisomes in onion epidermal cells. Furthermore, complementation analysis using anArabidopsisopr3mutant indicated that theOsOPR7gene, but notOsOPR1, was able to complement the phenotypes of male sterility in the mutant caused by JA deficiency, and that JA production in theopr3mutant was also restored by the expression of theOsOPR7gene. We conclude that theOsOPR7gene encodes the enzyme catalysing the reduction of natural (+)-cis-OPDA for the JA biosynthesis in rice.
