Jasmonates are phytohormones with multiple functions, including plant defense and reproduction

N. C. Avanci, Luche, D. D., Goldman, G. H., and Goldman, M. H. S., Jasmonates are phytohormones with multiple functions, including plant defense and reproduction, vol. 9. pp. 484-505, 2010.

The plant hormones jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate, along with their intermediate compounds, produced in the octadecanoid pathway, are important signaling molecules that are collectively called jasmonates. These are widespread in the plant kingdom and play crucial roles in biotic/abiotic stress responses, as well as in processes related to plant growth and development. Recently, it has been shown that jasmonates are also involved in reproductive processes. We present the most recent findings related to the biosynthesis, regulation and signaling mechanisms of jasmonates.
