Jasmonates: Mechanisms and functions in abiotic stress tolerance of plants

Recent advancement in plant biology and innovative molecular and biochemical techniques has caused in the nearly exponential accumulation of our knowledge on hormonal signaling of plants under a variety of abiotic stress conditions. Jasmonates are naturally occurring plant oxylipins and important members of their family include methyl jasmonate, jasmonic acid, and jasmonyl-isolucine. These growth regulators are involved in several physiological...
