Plants produce jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate in response to many biotic and abiotic stresses (in particular, herbivory and wounding), which build up in the damaged parts of the plant. The methyl jasmonate can be used to signal the original plant’s defense systems or it can be spread by physical contact or through the air to produce a defensive reaction in unharmed plants. The unharmed plants absorb the airborne MeJA through either the stomata or diffusion through the leaf cell cytoplasm. An herbivorous attack on a plant causes it to produce MeJA both for internal defense and for a signaling compound to other plants.<ref>Tao Xu et al. , 2003. Retrieved on 2010-10-27.</ref>

==Defense chemicals==
MeJA has been used to stimulate traumatic resin duct production in lodgepole pine trees. This can be used as a defense against many insect attackers as a type of vaccine.

MeJA is also a plant hormone involved in tendril (root) coiling, flowering, seed and fruit maturation. An increase of the hormone affects flowering time, flower morphology and the number of open flowers.<ref>Radhika, V., J. Cost, W. Boland, and M. Heil. The role of jasmonates in floral nectar secretion. 2010. Retrieved on 2010-10-27.</ref> MeJA induces ethylene-forming enzyme activity, which increases the amount of ethylene to the amount necessary for fruit maturation.<ref>Berger, S., E. Bell, and J. Mullet. </ref>


==Experiments==
Increased amounts of methyl jasmonate in plant roots have shown to inhibit their growth.<ref>Wasternack, C. </ref> It is predicted that the higher amounts of MeJa activate previously unexpressed genes within the roots to cause the growth inhibition.<ref>Berger, S., E. Bell, and J. Mullet. </ref>
External application of methyl jasmonate has been shown to induce plant defensive responses against both biotic and abiotic stressors. When treatments of methyl jasmonate were applied to ''Picea abies'' (]), the accumulation of ] and ] compounds doubled in the spruce needle tissues, a response that normally is only triggered when the tissue is damaged.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Martin |first1=Diane M. |last2=Gershenzon |first2=Jonathan |last3=Bohlmann |first3=Jörg |date=July 2003 |title=Induction of Volatile Terpene Biosynthesis and Diurnal Emission by Methyl Jasmonate in Foliage of Norway Spruce |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1104/pp.103.021196 |journal=Plant Physiology |volume=132 |issue=3 |pages=1586–1599 |doi=10.1104/pp.103.021196 |pmid=12857838 |pmc=167096 |issn=1532-2548}}</ref>


In an experiment testing the effect of methyl jasmonate treatments on drought tolerance, ] plants were shown to alter their metabolism and were better able to withstand water stress and drought conditions by lowering the amount of transpiration, and membrane-lipid peroxidation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Wang |first=S. Y. |date=November 1999 |title=Methyl Jasmonate Reduces Water Stress in Strawberry |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/pl00007060 |journal=Journal of Plant Growth Regulation |volume=18 |issue=3 |pages=127–134 |doi=10.1007/pl00007060 |pmid=10594248 |s2cid=1019939 |issn=0721-7595}}</ref>
Methyl jasmonate induces cytochrome c release in the mitochondria of cancer cells, leading to cell death, but does not harm normal cells. To be specific, it can cause cell death in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells taken from human patients with this disease and then treated in tissue culture with methyl jasmonate. Treatment of isolated normal human blood lymphocytes did not result in cell death <ref>Rotem, R., A. Heyfets, O. Fingrut, D. Blickstein, M. Shaklai, and E. Flesher </ref>

External application of methyl jasmonate has also shown a propensity for inducing an increased resistance to insect herbivory in some agricultural crops, such as ]s and ]. Plants treated with methyl jasmonate and exposed to insect herbivores had significantly lower levels of herbivory, and the insect herbivores had slower development, when compared to untreated plants.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Avdiushko |first1=S.

In recent experiments, methyl jasmonate has been shown to be effective at preventing bacterial growth in plants when applied in a spray to the leaves. The ] effect is thought to be because of methyl jasmonate inducing resistance.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Luzzatto |first1=T. |last2=Yishay |first2=M. |last3=Lipsky |first3=A. |last4=Ion |first4=A. |last5=Belausov |first5=E. |last6=Yedidia |first6=I. |title=Efficient, long-lasting resistance against the soft rot bacterium ''Pectobacterium carotovorum'' in calla lily provided by the plant activator methyl jasmonate |journal=] |volume=56 |issue=4 |pages=692–701 |date=August 2007 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-3059.2007.01622.x}}</ref>
