Key message Recent updates in JA biosynthesis, signaling pathways and the crosstalk
between JA and others phytohormones in relation with plant responses to different stresses …

Abstract Phytohormones, including jasmonates (JAs), gibberellin, ethylene, abscisic acid,
and auxin, integrate endogenous developmental cues with environmental signals to …

Abscisic acid (ABA) represses seed germination and postgerminative growth in Arabidopsis
thaliana. Auxin and jasmonic acid (JA) stimulate ABA function; however, the possible …

Jasmonates (JAs)[Jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonates (MeJAs)] are known to take
part in various physiological processes. Exogenous application of JAs so far tested on …

Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence
physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to
resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using “-omics” …

Secondary metabolites are incontestably key specialized molecules with proven health-
promoting effects on human beings. Naturally synthesized secondary metabolites are …

The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

Biosynthesis of the phytohormone jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) requires reduction of the JA
precursor 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) by OPDA reductase 3 (OPR3). Previous …
