The effect of Methyl Jasmonate (MJ, jasmonic acid methyl ether) at 10-10M concentrations on triticale kernels germination, seedling growth, changes in soluble carbohydrates content and composition, and activity of α-amylase was studied. MJ inhibited the germination of triticale kernels, possibly due to decreasing activity of αamylase, leading to the depletion of soluble carbohydrates in both em...
