“…MeJA has been shown to enhance anthocyanin accumulation in soybean seedlings (Franceschi and Grimes, 1991), peach shoots (Saniewski et al, 1998), and apple fruits (Kondo et al, 2001). Kondo et al (2001) showed that jasmonates effectively stimulated anthocyanin biosynthesis and that such effect was independent of ethylene.…”

The present study was carried out to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatments on the fruit peel color parameters, anthocyanin content, ethylene biosynthesis, phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity of Braeburn apples. Experimental trees were treated with 1120, 2240, or 4480 mg L-1 MeJA at 1-and 2-week intervals between the 105th and 175th days of growth after full bloom. L* and hue decreased linearly with increasing MeJA concentrations in both experimental years. While MeJA treatments did not cause significant changes in chroma, except for in the final harvest in 2010, it decreased chroma values significantly on all sampling dates of 2011. Anthocyanin content, internal ethylene concentration, phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity increased linearly with increasing MeJA concentrations, regardless of the application interval: MeJA treatments with 1-week intervals were found to be as effective as those with 2-week intervals. Although MeJA treatments increased ethylene biosynthesis, they did not cause any softening; on the other hand, fruit firmness increased linearly with increasing MeJA concentrations. Preharvest MeJA treatments can be a good management strategy for red peel color development and fruit firmness preservation in Braeburn apples. Although both application regimes of MeJA significantly increased red color development, the treatments with 1-week intervals were found to be more effective than 2-week intervals with regard to phenolic content and antioxidant capacity.

“…As was previously published, MJ has a stimulatory effect on anthocyanins accumulation in hypocotyls of lightgrown soybean seedlings (Franceschi and Grimes 1991), in shoots of wild Arabidopsis thaliana (Feys et al 1994), in detached corollas of Petunia (Tamari et al 1995), in the stem and leaves of tulips (Saniewski et al 1998a), in peach shoots (Saniewski et al 1998b), in cell cultures of Vaccinium pahalae (Fang et al 1999), in apple fruits (Kondo et al 2001), in suspension cultures of Vitis vinifera (Zhang et al 2002), and in shoots of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana (Saniewski et al 2003). However, MJ may also inhibit biosynthesis of anthocyanins, as has been recently found in hypocotyls, but not in cotyledons of young buckwheat seedlings ).…”

Effects of various jasmonates (methyl jasmonate, jasmonic acid, cis-jasmone) on anthocyanins and procyanidins content of, as well as on growth of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) seedlings were studied. The studied jasmonates were applied as solutions or vapors on four days seedlings, and the seedlings were grown during the next four days in day/night conditions (16/8 h). Afterwards anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins content, as well as elongation of primary roots and hypocotyls were measured. When applied as solutions cis-jasmone (JAS) stimulated the anthocyanins accumulation, but when used as vapors had tendency to decrease its accumulation in buckwheat hypocotyls. Jasmonic acid (JA) solutions slightly stimulated or had no effect on biosynthesis of anthocyanins in buckwheat hypocotyls, but used as vapors caused a decline of anthocyanins in buckwheat hypocotyls. Methyl jasmonate (MJ) clearly inhibited biosynthesis of anthocyanins in hypocotyls of buckwheat seedlings. The studied jasmonates had no influence on anthocyanins level in cotyledons of buckwheat seedlings, except cis-jasmone, which at the lowest solution concentration slightly enhanced biosynthesis of the pigments. Treatment of buckwheat seedlings with solutions of all jasmonates (10 -8 M, 10 -6 M and 10 -4 M) had no influence on the growth of buckwheat hypocotyls. Contrary to that observation vapors of the growth regulators in concentrations 10 -4 M, had a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of hypocotyls of buckwheat seedlings. Solutions of JA and MJ, as well as vapors of JA, MJ and JAS strongly inhibited the primary root growth of buckwheat seedlings, while JAS applied as solution had no such influence. MJ and JA caused much higher stimulation of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in buckwheat hypocotyls than JAS.

“…Hence, there is a strong possibility that ethylene is a common factor in the induction of gumming. Saniewski et al (1998b) suggested that jasmonates may also play an important role alongside ethylene in gum formation. Jasmonates, a new group of plant hormones with multiple physiological effects, induce gum formation in tulips (Saniewski et al, 1998a), cherries (Saniewski et al, 2000), peaches (Saniewski et al, 1998b), plums (Saniewski et al, 2004), and apricots (Saniewski et al, 2000).…”

Investigations were made into the effects of ethylene and jasmonate on gum formation of Japanese apricot fruit (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.). We treated 'Benisashi' and 'Nanko' fruit that had been artificially wounded with a stainless steel needle and examined the relation between the formation of ethylene and gum accumulation. In addition, we treated 'Benisashi' fruit with ethephon, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), methyl jasmonate (JA-Me), ibuprofen, and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) to investigate the relation of these chemicals with gum accumulation. Artificial wounding induced ethylene evolutional though the gum formation was not necessarily induced. Treatment with ethephon and 1-MCP did not significantly affect fruit gumming induced by artificial wounding, whereas treatment with JA-Me accelerated gum formation. Note also that JA-Me treatment induced gum formation in intact fruit whereas ibuprofen treatment reduced gum formation. In contrast, AVG treatment did not affect gum formation of intact fruit. These results show that JA-Me expedites gum formation of Japanese apricot fruit. Moreover, ibuprofen treatment before the rapid mesocarp development stage significantly suppressed the percentage of gummed fruit.
