Larrieu, A orcid.org/0000-0002-9024-5348 and Vernoux, T (2016) Q&A: How does jasmonate signaling enable plants to adapt and survive? BMC Biology, 14 (1). 79. ISSN 1741-7007
Abstract
Jasmonates (JAs) are a class of plant hormones that play essential roles in response to tissue wounding. They act on gene expression to slow down growth and to redirect metabolism towards producing defense molecules and repairing damage. These responses are systemic and have dramatic impacts on yields, making JAs a very active research area. JAs interact with many other plant hormones and therefore also have essential functions throughout development, notably during plant reproduction, leaf senescence and in response to many biotic and abiotic stresses.
