Plant Cell 2002, 14:1405-1415. Characterization of the JASMONIC ACID RESISTANT1 (JAR1) gene and related gene family members showed that they encode enzymes that are capable of covalently modifying JA, salicylate and indole-3-acetic acid. This modification uses ATP as a co-substrate, resulting in the production of adenylated signal molecules. These adducts may themselves serve as substrates for further reactions; for example, for the generation of hormone conjugates.

Plant J 2001, 25:43-53. ORCA3 binds to a distinct jasmonate- and elicitor-responsive element to activate target-gene expression. A serine-rich domain in ORCA3 was identified and found to be a negative regulator of gene expression. Importantly, jasmonate-responsive expression of the ORCA mRNA was found to occur in the absence of cellular translation.

Remarkably, a methyl jasmonate-insensitive mutant has reduced sensitivity to indole-3-acetic acid, a cytokinin, a brassinolide, an ethylene precursor and abscissic acid. The mutant gene is a new allele of the auxin-signalling gene AXR1, and provides a molecular link between many major stress and developmental pathways in plants.

This work positions both AXR1 and COP9 as upstream regulators of diverse developmental and stress signalling processes, including jasmonate signalling.

This study builds on previous work to provide rigorous proof that ETHYLENE-RESPONSE FACTOR1 (ERF1) integrates ethylene and jasmonate signals to regulate the expression of defense genes.

Kloek AP, Verbsky ML, Sharma SB, Schoelz JE, Vogel J, Klessig DF, Kunkel BN: Resistance to Pseudomonas syringae conferred by an Arabidopsis thaliana coronatine-insensitive (coi1) mutation occurs through two distinct mechanisms. Plant J 2001, 26:509-522. A genetic screen resulted in the isolation of the novel coi1-20 allele. Mutant coi1-20 plants showed strongly enhanced SA signaling in response to Pseudomonas syringae, indicating that COI1 is a negative regulator of SA responses. Additionally, double mutants that were defective at COI1 and in the salicylate hydroxylase gene NahG displayed a remarkable tolerance of the pathogen, implicating COI1 in symptom development.

J Biol Chem 2001, 276:12832-12838. The authors identify a new and potentially important pool of OPDA that is esterified to monogalactosyl diglyceride. De-esterification of this OPDA pool could affect the expression of defense genes.

Plant J 2003, 34:363-375. This work reveals new cyclopentenone lipids, phytoprostanes, which are generated through the non-enzymatic introduction of molecular oxygen into linolenic acid, a process that is linked to ROS production. The molecules have a biological activity that is probably related to their electrophilicity.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2001,98:8139-8144. Many previous studies have used mutants and transgenic plants to investigate the roles of jasmonates in resistance to insects. In this work, Vancanneyt et al. show that 13-hydroperoxide lyase activity in potato is necessary to suppress the fecundity of aphids. The results broaden our knowledge of the role of oxylipins and their derivatives in plant defense.
