Jasmonic acid was first discovered as its methylester (2) an odoriferous compound from the essential oil of jasmine (Jasminum grandiflomm L.) [3], Early interest in this compound centered on its fragrant properties but recently, jasmonic acid and its methyl ester have fascinated plant physiologists and molecular biologists because they have been shown to possess hormonal activity [4], can act as a senescence-promoting substance [5], and can induce JIP (jasmonate induced proteins) [6] and soybean vegetative storage proteins [7],... 

Barley leaf segments respond to the application of (-)-jasmonic acid (JA) or its methylester (JM) as well as to several stress conditions like osmotic stress with the synthesis of so called jasmonate induced proteins (JIPs). Among these proteins is a thionin of 6 kDa, and a protein of 23 kDa with yet unknown function [1]. Beside these results we present evidence on the specific induction of lipoxygenase (LOX) forms in barley leaf segments by jasmonate or by osmotic stress conditions, like incubation with 1 M sorbitol.

Fig. 5. Model for elicitor signal transduction leading to Str expression. The model shows the positions of CrBPF-1 in a JA-independent, and ORCAs in a JA-dependent, elicitor signal transduction pathway. Protein phosphorylation and calcium influx are required for elicitor-induced jasmonate biosynthesis, as well as for the induction of CrBPF-1, ORCA2, and ORCA3. ORCA activation additionally depends on jasmonate biosynthesis. The positions of the TATA box, the BA region, and the jasmonate- and elicitor-responsive element (JERE) within the Str promoter are indicated...

Plants utilize methyljasmonate not only for floral scent but also as a cellular regulator that controls a myriad of plant functions.76 The cis epimer (Fig. 11.3) is believed to be the most biologically active.77 Like methylsalicylate, methyljasmonate and its precursor jasmonic acid have been implicated in the induction of defense-related genes in plants that are damaged by herbivores or challenged by infection.78,79 Application of methyljasmonate either directly to the plant or in a volatilized spray can induce the expression of known pathogenesis-related proteins.80 82...

Degradation products of LOOHs are able to initiate the production of the ethylene, kinases and G-proteins required to induce an oxidative burst. These events are apparently followed by activation of the genes which encode the generation of jasmonic acid and of salicylic acid. These are in turn able to induce the production of enzymes of the phenylpropanoid pathway [149,150], and enzymes which initiate the biosynthesis of terpenes (e.g. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase [145,151-153]) and lignins. 

Activity Via the gas phase [ 10 nL ( )-( 1 )/L] it is a potent inducer of proteinase-inhibitor proteins in some species of Solanaceae and Fabaceae . After uptake in the cells it is presumably rapidly hydrolysed to jas-monic acid [C,2H,g03, Mr 210.27, viscous oil, bp. 125 °C (0.13 Pa)], a ubiquitous, intracellular, plant signal substance which stimulates the synthesis of special proteins and induces the plant s defensive reaction via a gene activation . De novo synthesis of (3/f,75)-(-t)-jasmonic acid and an increase in the intracellular concentration of (3/f,75)-(-F)-jasmonic acid from 1-10 ng/g (dry weight) by one to three orders of magnitude occur within a few minutes, e.g., after contact with microbial cell wallswounding, and in shoot spiralization Exogenous application of (methyl)jas-... 

Resistance inductors. R. i. are compounds which initiate the biosynthesis of phytoalexins or, respectively, of PR proteins. Besides certain synthetic compounds some low-molecular weight natural compounds such as salicylic acid , fatty acids methyl jasmonate as well as the peptide systemin act as resistance inductors in plants and initiate the plant s defensive mechanism against phytopathogens. lit.
