Levels of JA and MeJA in wild and transgenic Arabidopsis plants, ng/g fresh wt

Compound	Wild	Transgenic
Jasmonic acid	26.53  ± 8.24	23.72  ± 7.82
Methyl jasmonate	19.37  ± 4.87	58.50  ± 9.65
Total jasmonate	45.90  ± 13.11	82.22  ± 17.47

JA and MeJA in rosette leaves of wild-type and transgenic (line 1) Arabidopsis were separated by HPLC and quantified with GC-MS (7). Total JA is the sum of JA and MeJA. Values represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. JA and MeJA levels in other transgenic lines (2 through 5) were similar to that of line 1 plants within experimental errors.
