Gene expression in leaves of Theobroma cacao in response to mechanical wounding, ethylene, and/or methyl jasmonate

2005-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Yield of Theobroma cacao (cacao), the source of chocolate, is limited by disease and insect pests. Developmental stage influences the resistance of cacao leaves to disease and insect pests. Mechanical wounding, ethylene, and methyl jasmonate induce resistance to pests in many plant species. The effects of mechanical wounding, ethylene, and methyl jasmonate on gene expression was studied in cacao leaves at two deve...
