Exogenous application of (R)-(+)-limonene in the EV control and AS transgenic orange fruits promotes the accumulation of JA. A, Accumulation of JA in mature orange fruits treated with water (W) or (R)-(+)-limonene (L) at different hours after the application (20 min and 2 and 4 h). The results are averages ± se (n ≥ 15). Different letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 using Fisher’s protected lsd test. FW, Fresh weight. B, Control fruits 2 h after water or (R)-(+)-limonene application. The dashed circle indicates the stress caused by the application of the pure compound.
