The plant lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway is in many respects the equivalent of the 'arachidonic acid cascade' in animals. The LOX-catalyzed dioxygenation of the plant fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic acids, is followed by metabolism of the resulting fatty acid hydroperoxides by other enzymes. Although the physiological functions of the end-products do not appear to be fully defined at this time, hormonal and anti-fungal activities have been reported.
植物脂氧合酶（LOX）途径在许多方面等同于动物体内的“花生四烯酸级联反应”。LOX催化植物脂肪酸亚油酸和亚麻酸的双加氧反应，随后其他酶对生成的脂肪酸氢过氧化物进行代谢。尽管目前终产物的生理功能似乎尚未完全明确，但已有报道称其具有激素和抗真菌活性。
