Abstract
Jasmonates (JAs) are essential signal molecules modulating the plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses as well as several growth and developmental traits. COI1 has a crucial role in the JA-signaling pathway. COI1 encodes an F-box protein that associates with Skp/cullin/F-box (SCF) E3-ubiquitin ligase. E3-ubiquitin ligase are involved in the ubiquitination of target proteins for degradation by 26S proteasome. JAs have been suggested to promote ubiquitination and degradation of negative regulators of JA signaling. Recently, it reported that COI1 protein directly binds to JA-Ile and serves as a receptor. In this study, we attempted to analyze JA-signaling pathway in rice.
