Abstract: Jasmonate (JA) is important molecule in inducing plant defense response. JA is a key component in systemin signalling， and plays an essential role in long-distance wound signalling. JA also exerts indirect role in plant defense response independently or with other phytohormones by regulating the biosynthesis of secondary metabolite——glucosinolate， which is closely related to plant defense response. This review summarizes recent studies in unraveling the role of JA in plant defense response， and highlights the prospective of future research in this area.
