Resumo

Although first recognized for its growth-inhibiting activity about 20 years ago, JA2 and its fragrant methyl ester MeJA (referred to here collectively as jasmonate) are receiving re- newed interest as potentially important signaling molecules in plants.This is because jasmonate markedly increases the expression of specific plant genes, some of which are wound responsive.Similarities with fatty acid-derived stress signaling molecules in animals (1) make jasmonate of general biological interest.
