Effect of methyl jasmonate on harpin-induced hypersensitive cell heath, generation of hydrogen peroxide and expression of PAL mRNA in tobacco suspension cultured BY-2 cells
S. Andi et al., Effect of methyl jasmonate on harpin-induced hypersensitive cell heath, generation of hydrogen peroxide and expression of PAL mRNA in tobacco suspension cultured BY-2 cells, PLANT CEL P, 42(4), 2001, pp. 446-449
Methyl jasmonate inhibited the harpin-induced defense responses such as cel
l death, H2O2 generation and gene expression encoding phenylalanine ammonia
-lyase in tobacco suspension cultured BY-2 cells, These results suggest tha
t MeJA may act as an endogenous suppressor for plant defense response inclu
ding hypersensitive reaction.
