Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a naturally occurring, volatile signal metabolite that functions within and between plants (Farmer and Ryan, 1990; Sembdner and Parthier, 1993; Seo et al., 2001).”
Variation in natural plant products and the attraction of bodyguards involved in indirect plant defense (2010, background): “In the AOS branch, a series of enzymatic reactions leads to the formation of jasmonic acid (JA), which can in turn be converted to the volatile ester methyl jasmonate (MeJA) (Seo et al. 2001; Dudareva et al. 2006).”
Jasmonates: biosynthesis, perception, signal transduction and action in plant stress response, growth and development. An update to the 2007 review in Annals of Botany. (2013, background): “Furthermore, transgenic lines of Arabidopsis over-expressing the JA carboxy methyl transferase (JMT) led to the assumption that MeJA is the preferentially active signal in JA responses (Seo et al., 2001).”
Costs and benefits of induced resistance to herbivores and pathogens in plants (2010, background): “Transformed methyl jasmonate (MeJA)overproducing Arabidopsis lines constitutively express a variety of defence responses normally inducible by wounding or JA [220, 221].”
Biogenic volatile organic compounds in the Earth system. (2009, background): “…may also induce the production of some BVOCs, such as terpenes, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and methyl salicylate (MeSA), from leaves, the magnitude and quality of which depend on the type of damage (Takabayashi et al., 1994; Seo et al., 2001; Mithofer et al., 2005; Laothawornkitkul et al., 2008a).”
Direct Defenses in Plants and Their Induction by Wounding and Insect Herbivores (2008, background): “Conversion of JA to MeJA is mediated by JA carboxyl methyltransferase (JMT), whereas conversion of JA to JA-Ile is catalyzed by the ATP-dependent adenylateforming enzyme JAR1 (Seo et al. 2001; Staswick and Tiryaki 2004).”
ATTED-II: a database of co-expressed genes and cis elements for identifying co-regulated gene groups in Arabidopsis (2006, background): “JMT and At3g11480 are enzymes used to produce methylated forms of JA and salicylic acid, respectively (27,28).”
Jasmonates - Signals in Plant-Microbe Interactions (2004, background): “The effectiveness of the resistance response, therefore, seems to depend more on the timing and amplitude of the transcriptional activation than on qualitative differences in global expression patterns (Nimchuk and others 2003; Tao and others 2003).”
