Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) hairy roots are a potential tool for stilbene compound production. This study focuses on the most efficient elicitation strategy inducing production, especially prenylated forms of trans-arachidin-1 and trans-arachidin-3. To best our knowledge, this is first report simultaneous treatment involving chitosan (CHT), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), cyclodextrin (CD); CHT + MeJ...

To maintain a symbiotic balance, leguminous plants have a systemic regulatory system called autoregulation of nodulation (AUT). Since AUT is schematically similar to systemic resistance found in plant-pathogen interactions, we examined the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) or methyl salicylate (MeSA) on nodulation in Lotus japonicus. Shoot-applied MeJA strongly suppressed nodulation in the wil...
