Figure 2.

Jasmonates are induced by mechanical wounding and rice water weevil attack under flooded conditions. Induction patterns of phytohormones and corresponding biosynthetic genes in rice roots that were wounded or infested with the generalist herbivore rice water weevil at different time points are shown (n = 5; + se). All plants were grown in submerged substrate. The biosynthesis of jasmonates (A–D), ABA (E and F), SA (G and H), and ET (I) was profiled. Different letters indicate significant differences among treatments within time points (P < 0.05). FW, Fresh weight.
