Chemical Information
FooDB NameMethyl jasmonate
DescriptionFlavouring ingredient. From Jasminum grandiflorum (royal jasmine) Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a substance used in plant defense and also under early research for cancer treatment in humans. Plants produce jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate in response to many biotic and abiotic stresses (particularly herbivory and wounding), which build up in the damaged parts of the plant. Jasmonates act as signaling compounds for the production of phytoalexins. MeJa has been used to stimulate traumatic resin duct production in lodgepole pine trees. This can be used as a defense against many insect attackers as a type of vaccine. Phytoalexins, once ingested by the attacker (e.g., insect), can be toxic or interfere with its digestion and may deter the attacker from further feeding. The jasmonate signal often spreads systemically throughout the plant and is a major component of systemic acquired resistance. Methyl jasmonate is found in many foods, some of which are adzuki bean, hedge mustard, sourdock, and tinda.
