Capsicum annuum foliar wounding time-course

In response to stresses, jasmonates increase rapidly leading to plant resistance against nectrotrophic pathogens and chewing insect herbivores. Jasmonate biosynthesis is regulated at many levels, including transcriptionally, through alternative splicing and the phosphorylation of the 13S-lipoxygenase (LOX) that catalyzes an early step in jasmonate biosynthesis. In pepper, transcriptomic analysis of a foliar wounding time course was conducted to deepen our understanding of these regulatory mechanisms.
