Abstract
The jasmonates (JAs) function in a pathway for plant response to abiotic and biotic stresses including, drought, ozone damage, and attack by pests and pathogens. This pathway involves perception of the stress, induction of localised synthesis of JAs, and activation of the JA perception-response pathway. We recently isolated the mutant cev1 which defines an early step in stress perception, constitutively over-produces JA, and has enhanced resistance to pests and pathogens. We isolated 30 mutants that suppress cev1. Here we propose to characterise these mutants, named scp, to identify genes required for perception of stress, regulation of JA synthesis, and in the JA perception-response pathway. The COI1 gene is in the JA perception-response pathway and we shall also characterise recently isolated suppressors of coil-16.
