Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) and its methyl ester, methyl jasmonates (MeJAs), is categorized under phytohormones. It is ubiquitously found all over the plant kingdom but varies in concentration from species to species. Chemically, it is known as derivatives of the fatty acid metabolism. JAs are synthesized from α-linolenic acid (α-LeA/18:3) via the octadecanoid pathway. JAs attached to its receptor, CORONATINE INSENSITIVE1 (COI1) triggers the signaling cascade and enables the expression of genes and generate various responses under stress and stress-free conditions. Moreover, JAs are known to regulate a wide range of physiological processes in plants such as plant growth, reproductive development and senescence. It also induces plant defense responses against various biotic stresses such as herbivore attack or pathogen infection. In this chapter, a summary of recent advances in our understanding of JA synthesis and signaling along with its role in regulating physiology of plant in presence or absence of biotic stress.
