Within the 9/13-LOXs group, maize ZmLOX1 responded to wounding and MeJA, but MeJA induced ZmLOX1 expression exhibiting a biphasic pattern comprising an early phase and a late phase [38]; rice OsLOX1 was induced by wounding and was involved in defence against BPH [11]; and olive LOX was mainly expressed during late developmental stages, and may be associated with fruit ripening and senescence [8]. Here, LOX is linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
