Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) and its analogues have attracted the interest of plant physiologists due to their widespread occurrence within the plant kingdom, their effectiveness as promoters of senescence, and their role as endogenous factors in plant development involved in various physiological processes. This paper discusses the possible roles of these compounds at different stages of plant ontogeny. The focus is on the germination process and seedling growth, the growth and senescence of vegetative organs, and the reproductive stages of development, particularly fruit formation.
Gibberellins (GAs) appear to be involved in the regulation of fruit set. Investigations in Carica papaya have shown that the very active GAs GA1 and GA3 are dominant in young developing fruits, while GA55 and a neutral GA3 conjugate are the major components in yellow fruits destined for abscission. The occurrence of low-activity GAs in abscising fruits seems to be connected with the physiological processes leading to abscission.
