Heat-shock and methyl-jasmonate: The cultivar-specific responses of pepper plants.

ABSTRACT: Frequency, intensity and duration heat-related events have profound implications for future food supply through effects on plant growth and development. This concern needs effective and urgent mitigation tools. However, the effectiveness of potential solutions may decrease according to the specific cultivar response rather consider at specie level. The metyl-jasmonates are essential cellular regulators which are involved in pivotal plant development processes and related to confer protection to heat shock. Thus, our aim was to study the response of three pepper cultivars, Agio (Hungarian type), Basque (Chilli type), and Loreto (Lamuyo type), subjected to heat shock (40°C/72 h) and foliarly-sprayed with methyl-jasmonate (MeJA; 100 µmol), and the effects on several physiological traits.
