Biology response to of time-dependent methyl jasmonate treatment in tea leaves. a. exogenous methyl jasmonate could lead to a rapid, within minutes, oxidative burst and release of free fatty acids and further cascade of events includes activation of defense gene expression that leads to synthesis of a variety of volatile isoprenoids and also production of non-volatile defense compounds such as polyphenols. b. The octadecanoid signaling pathway for some gene expression in tea leaves: Exogenous MeJA could in a great degree lead to the activation of lipoxygenase pathway that results in release of green leaf volatiles (a variety of C6 aldehydes) and synthesis of jasmonate and methyl jasmonate which could further elicit the JA pathway in the whole tea plant
