When subjected in vitro to upshock osmotic stress, canola leaf discs accumulate large amounts of proline. In this study, we investigated the regulatory effect exerted on the osmoinduced proline response by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and derivatives of the oxylipin pathway. When supplied to the stressing medium, PUFAs were found to inhibit proline accumulation, with α and γ-linolenic acid (C18:3) being more effective than linoleic acid (C18:2). The amount of accumulated proline increased to 200 μmol g−1 dry weight (DW) and remained constant in leaf discs subjected for 8 h to a stress medium containing 350 g l−1 PEG 6000 added with PUFAs, compared with levels observed in control discs treated with PEG that continued to increase to approximately 600 μmol g−1 DW regularly for up to 24 h. The suppressing effect of PUFAs was mimicked by methyl-jasmonate (Me-JA). Whatever the mediator used, this effect was dependent on its concentration and on the moment when osmotic stress was applied: γ-C18:3>α-C18:3>C18:2. An identical effect was observed with 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (12-OPDA). In addition, the suppressing effect of Me-JA was found to counteract the promoting effect of abscisic acid (ABA). Collectively, these results demonstrated that proline accumulation by canola leaf explants subjected in vitro to osmotic stress could be partly suppressed by exogenously supplied free fatty acids (FAs) and by products resulting from their hydroperoxidation by lipoxygenase (LOXs). The physiological relevance of these findings is discussed.
