title: Coronatine elicits phytoalexin production in rice leaves (Oryza sativa L.) in the same manner as jasmonic acid.
abstract: The phytotoxin coronatine induced the accumulation of the flavonoid phytoalexins sakuranetin and momilactone A in rice leaves. Coronatine-inducible sakuranetin production was under the control of kinetin and ascorbic acid (AsA), as observed with jasmonic acid (JA). The effects of kinetin and AsA on the activity of coronatine indicated that coronatine might elicit sakuranetin production in a manner similar to JA. The similarity of both their structures and the manner of elicitation of coronatine and JA suggest that they might interact at the same active site(s) to lead to phytoalexin production.
