The level of Jasmonate in plants varies as a function of tissue and cell type, developmental stage, and in response to several different environmental stimuli. High levels of Jasmonate are also found in flowers and pericarp tissues of developing reproductive structures and in the chloroplasts of illuminated plants; Jasmonate levels also increase rapidly in response to mechanical perturbations such as tendril coiling and when plants suffer wounding.

Demonstrated roles of Jasmonate in plants include:

• Jasmonate and Methyl Jasmonate inhibit the germination of non-dormant seeds and stimulate the germination of dormant seeds

• High levels of Jasmonate encourage the accumulation of storage proteins; genes encoding vegetative storage proteins are Jasmonate responsive and tuberonic acid (a Jasmonate derivative) has been proposed to play a role in the formation of tubers

• Jasmonate application can induce chlorosis and inhibition of genes encoding proteins involved in photosynthesis, although the purpose of this response is unknown it is proposed that this response to Jasmonate could help reduce the plant's capacity for carbon assimilation under conditions of excess light or carbon

• The role of Jasmonate accumulation in flowers and fruit is unknown; however, it may be related to fruit ripening (via ethylene), fruit carotenoid composition, and expression of genes encoding seed and vegetative storage proteins

• Jasmonate plays a role in insect and disease resistance. Many genes during plant defense are induced by Jasmonate. Jasmonate and ethylene may act together in defense response.
