Heterolytic hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) and divinyl ether synthase (DES) are important enzymes of the plant lipoxygenase pathway. HPL cleaves fatty acid hydroperoxides into the aldehyde fragments. DES converts hydroperoxides into the divinyl ethers. The present paper is concerned with recent studies on HPL and DES including their occurrence, properties, mechanisms of action, the cloning of their cDNAs and physiological importance of the enzymes and their products.
