The signalling processes remain similar however, being mediated through jasmonates.

Recent evidence indicates a role for jasmonates in transmission of the signal to distal portions of the plant.

Jasmonates: novel anticancer agents acting directly and selectively on human cancer cell mitochondria.

Jasmonates - are produced from fatty acids and seem to promote the production of defense proteins that are used to fend off invading organisms.

Jasmonates include jasmonic acid and its esters, such as methyl jasmonate (MeJa).

Often, if jasmonates or ethylene (both gaseous hormones) is released from the wounded tissue, neighboring plants also manufacture phytoalexins in response.

Applying methyl jasmonate to cosilenced plants rescued them, indicating that jasmonates are the signal responsible for causing changes in gene expression.

The isolation of methyl jasmonate from jasmine oil derived from Jasminum grandiflorum led to the discovery of the molecular structure of jasmonates and their name.

Jasmonates (JA) are an oxylipin, or oxygenated fatty acid, synthesized from linolenic acid residing in chloroplast membranes.

Plant hormones act as a signal to the various tissues of plants inducing one or more responses, the class of plant hormone responsible for dwarfing in plants due to injury are called jasmonates.

When D. dadantii is virulent it enters primarily through hydathodes and wounds, with the assistance of jasmonates, where the bacteria rapidly breakdown the parenchymatous tissues with the use of pectic enzymes).

JA seed treatment stimulates the natural anti-pest defenses of the plants that germinate from the treated seeds, without harming plant growth as happens when jasmonates are sprayed onto plants that have already started growing.
