wound response. Chloroplast lipid hydrolysis is a critical step for JA biosynthesis, but the
mechanism of this process remains elusive. We report here that DONGLE (DGL), a homolog
of DEFECTIVE IN ANTHER DEHISCENCE1 (DAD1), encodes a chloroplast-targeted lipase
with strong galactolipase and weak phospholipase A 1 activity. DGL is expressed in the
leaves and has a specific role in maintaining basal JA content under normal conditions, and …
