“…Elicitors such as yeast elicitors, metal ions (Ag + , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Co 2+ ), plant growth regulators (SA, ABA, ETH, MeJA, IAA, NAA, GA, 6-BA, TDZ), and other treatments (polyamines, ultraviolet-B radiation, H 2 O 2 ), induce the biosynthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites (tanshinone and phenolic acid biosynthesis) in S. miltiorrhiza [ 11 , 13 ], especially plant hormones (MeJA, SA, ETH, ABA, GA) [ 62 – 64 ]. MAPK cascades have also been implicated in ABA, ETH, JA and SA signalling [ 17 , 25 , 29 , 33 , 36 , 37 ].…”
