Abstract

Plants are continuously exposed to both biotic and abiotic stress in their natural environment. Unlike animals, plants are immobilized organisms which tend to be vulnerable to various environmental stresses. In order to survive, plants have evolved a wide range of defense mechanism to cope with these stresses. Both biotic and abiotic stresses might share some common signaling pathway in triggering the defense system in plants. Recent researches have revealed that phytohormones such as abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) are intermediate molecules which play key roles in the crosstalk between biotic and abiotic signaling network (Fujita et al. 2006). In this chapter, we highlight the effects of exogenous applied jasmonic acid in triggering the synthesis of some molecules and activating their respective biosynthetic genes in plants as a response towards abiotic stresses.
