Plant hormones: Metabolic end run to jasmonate

Plant hormones: Metabolic end run to jasmonate, Published online: 16 January 2018; doi:10.1038/nchembio.2553

The lipid-derived hormone jasmonate promotes durable resistance of plants to a myriad of herbivores and pathogens. New evidence reveals an alternative pathway for the terminal steps of jasmonate biosynthesis and further advances our understanding of bioactive oxylipins in the plant kingdom.
