(±)-Jasmonic Acid (Cat No.:C000891) is a naturally occurring plant hormone and a signaling molecule known as jasmonate. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in plants, including defense responses against biotic and abiotic stresses, growth regulation, and development. Jasmonic acid is synthesized in response to plant injuries, pathogen attacks, or environmental cues, and it triggers the expression of defense-related genes. Apart from its significance in plants, jasmonic acid and its derivatives have drawn attention to their potential applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics due to their bioactive properties. Its effects on plant growth and stress responses make it a valuable compound in modern agricultural practices.
