Systemin and jasmonic acid regulate constitutive and herbivore-induced systemic volatile emissions in tomato, Solanum lycopersicum

Investigation of the role of the prosystemin pathway in constitutive and induced volatile emissions in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Herbivore wounding and jasmonic acid application, combined with the use of transgenic and mutant plants targeting the prosystemin pathway, suggest a functional prosystemin gene is required for systemic induction of herbivore-induced volatiles.
