Jasmonic Acid Affects Cell Division in Meristems of Cultured Potato Roots

  • Chapter
Biology of Root Formation and Development

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 65))

Abstract

Recently, jasmonic acid (JA) and other jasmonates have been the focus of much attention as endogenous signals that stimulate expression of wound-inducible and defence- related genes, and as regulators of various developmental responses (Farmer, 1994).
