Jasmonate biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana--enzymes, products, regulation

Plant Biol (Stuttg). 2006 May;8(3):297-306. doi: 10.1055/s-2006-923935.

Abstract

Among the plant hormones jasmonic acid and related derivatives are known to mediate stress responses and several developmental processes. Biosynthesis, regulation, and metabolism of jasmonic acid in Arabidopsis thaliana are reviewed, including properties of mutants of jasmonate biosynthesis. The individual signalling properties of several jasmonates are described.
