The plant Golgi apparatus: last 10 years of answered and open questions.

abstract：: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 applie...
