Hexenyl Acetate Mediates Indirect Plant Defense Responses

Oxyipins, lipid-derived signaling molecales have important functions in plant development, reproducton and responses to external stimuli. Jasmonates (JAs),Caldehydes, and their corresponding deriatives prodaced y the twe main competing branches of the ervipin pathway, the allene eide sythase (109) d hydreperexide yase (HP) branches, respectively.
