About this document
Biosynthesis and Functions of Jasmonic Acid by Raul Jr. Nachor is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Jasmonic acid (JA) is synthesized from linolenic acid through a series of enzymatic reactions involving lipoxygenase and allene oxide synthase, ultimately playing a crucial role in plant responses to stress and growth regulation. JA regulates various processes such as growth inhibition, flower development, and defense against herbivores by activating protease inhibitors and other defense compounds. Additionally, while JA can enhance pest resistance, it may also increase susceptibility to pathogens due to it
