Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Linolenic acid produced by the ω-3 fatty acid desaturase MSD3 in sorghum is used for insect-induced jasmonic acid production and is important for resistance against Spodoptera frugiperda. Jasmonic acid (JA) is a phytohormone that regulates both plant development and stress responses. In sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), the ω-3 fatty acid desaturase Multiseeded3 (MSD3) and the 13-lipoxygenase...
