Jasmonate

Jasmonates (JAs) are a group of plant hormones.

Location, Characteristics and Occasions for Synthesis Induction

• Desiccation
• Effect of elevated ABA levels
• JA-induced proteins are lacking in the roots, in bleached leaves, and in leaves that are chlorophyll-deficient

Effects

• Growth inhibition
• Senescence promotion
• Stimulates wound responses
• Germination inhibition
• Tuber formation promotion
• Fruit ripening and fruit abscission promotion
• Pigment formation promotion
• May have a role in plant defense
