Plant biology: Jasmonate perception machines
Edward E. Farmer1
Abstract
How do plant cells respond so vigorously to organisms that damage their cells? Following on from progress made in understanding hormonal control of growth and development comes news of how a plant's security system operates.
The breaking and entering of plant cells sets off alarms by stimulating the formation of jasmonic acid and its jasmonate derivatives. Papers by Thines et al.1 and Chini et al.2, published on pages 661 and 666 of this issue, reveal beautifully dynamic mechanisms of jasmonate perception and downstream molecular signalling.
