Abstract: The jasmonic acid and jasmonates (JAs) in plants are a group of newly recognized endogenous substances.This paper reviews its physiological functions from several aspects, including its biosynthetic pathway, the effect on plant development and drought, salt, disease resistance.Meanwhile, the relationship of JAs with stomatal movements, plant metabolism and other hormones such as ABA,SA,Ethylene is also introduced.
