Jojoba’s survival strategy: how jasmonate boosts cold acclimation

This study reveals how jasmonate enhances cold acclimation in jojoba by promoting flavonol synthesis. Through metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, researchers found that cold acclimation leads to flavonol accumulation, crucial for increased cold tolerance. The jasmonate signaling pathway, which activates the flavonol biosynthesis pathway, plays a key role in this process.
