Description

• General description: Methyl jasmonate (MJ, MeJA), a methyl ester of jasmonic acid (JA) is a plant growth regulator. It is a fragrant volatile compound isolated from the flowers of Jasminum grandiflorum.[1] It has been reported to play an important role in the plant′s response to pathogens and wound.[2]
• Application: Methyl jasmonate (MJ, MeJA) is suitable in controlling blue mold decay in sweet cherry fruit caused by Penicillium expansum.[3]Methyl jasmonate may be used in the following studies:As a potential anti-cancer agent that shows selective cytotoxic effect towards cancer cells.[4]To induce the defensive proteinase inhibitor proteins synthesis in plant leaves.[5]As an elicitor to enrich the total anthocyanin content (TAC) in radish sprouts.[6]As an elicitor in inducing the biosynthesis of trans-resveratrol, a plant phenol in Vitis vinifera cv. Negramaro cell cultures.[7]As a mediator of extensive plant transcriptome reprogramming/ remodeling on exogenous treatment to Salvia sclarea leaves.[8]As a modulator in the expression of chalcone synthase (chs) and proline-rich cell wall protein (PRP), two wound-responsive genes in soybean suspension cultures.[2]As a starting material in the synthesis of [13C,2H3]-MeJA, an internal standard used in the quantitative determination of MeJA in plant tissues.[2] As a test compound in the application of reduced graphene oxide–poly(safranine T) film on glassy carbon electrode (rGO–PST/GCE) in the electrochemical determination of MeJA in jasmine essential oil.[9]
