Abstract excerpt
Jasmonic acid (JA) plays a critical role in plant defenses against insects and necrotrophic fungi. Wounding or lepidopteran insect feeding rapidly induces a burst of JA in plants, which usually reaches peak values within 1 to 2 h. The induced JA is converted to JA-Ile and perceived by the COI1-JAZ co-receptor, leading to activation of the transcription factors MYC2 and its homologs, which further induce...
