Jasmonates

Jasmonates, or JAs, are one of several types of Plant Growth Regulators or PGRs.

Sometimes known as Jasmonic Acids, Jasmonates are synthesized organically from fatty acids, and while having an affect on many parts of the plant, are most readily recognized as a defensive hormone. JAs are abundant in plants that have been exposed to external stimuli such as wounding, and are known to inhibit insect damage, and ward off disease. It is presumed that JA and Ethylene may work together in both plant defense and fruit ripening.
