Jasmonic acid (JA) has been shown to be a signaling compound which elicits the production of secondary metabolites including phytoalexins in plants. It has been shown that the phytoalexin production is elicited by exogenously applied JA in rice leaves. We now show that this phytoalexin production by exogenously applied JA is significantly counteracted by cytokinins, kinetin and zeatin. Kinetin and zeatin also inhibit the induction of naringenin-7-O-methyltransferase (a key enzyme in rice phytoalexin production) by JA. A natural free radical scavenger, ascorbic acid (AsA) shows both counteractive and enhancing effects on JA-inducible phytoalexin production, depending on its concentration. This effect of AsA suggests that active oxygen species (AOS) may play important roles in phytoalexin production by JA in rice leaves.
