Hormone regulatory pathway of JASMONIC ACID (JA)
Jasmonate: a potent phytohormone Jasmonates [jasmonic acid and its methyl ester methyl jasmonate] the cyclopentanone phytohormones are a class of oxidized lipids (oxylipins) derived from α-linolenic acids (α-LAs) through lipoxygenase-dependent manner. JA was first isolated from culture filtrate of the fungus Lasiodiplodia (Botryodiplodia) theobromae, a plant pathogen, was identified as a plant growth inhibitor, whereas its derivative methyl jasmonate was first isolated from Jasminum grandiflorum (jasmine) petal extract. 7-iso-Jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is the best-described bioactive JA till date, but other JAs like cis-jasmone, jasmonoyl ACC (JA-ACC), and jasmonoyl isoleucine (JA-Ile) are also studied by scientists with multiple biological functions. Various developmental and environmental factors are responsible for the production of JA in membranes and resulted in expression of stress tolerant genes. JA is ubiquitously found in the plant kingdom and results in the expres...
