Exogenous methyl jasmonate affects genes involved in monoterpene biosynthetic pathway, phyto-biochemical accumulation, and enzymatic activity of Satureja hortensis L.

Satureja hortensis L. (SH) is a medicinal and aromatic herb utilized markedly in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries because of its specific secondary metabolites (SMs), especially monoterpenoids. However, the impact of elicitors on the expression of monoterpene synthase genes in SH remains unexplored.

Impact of elicitors on essential oil compositions and phytochemical constituents in Lavandula stoechas L.

Lavandula stoechas L. (LS) is an aromatic evergreen herb used broadly in the food, pharmaceutical, and perfume industries. However, the inducer effect of elicitors on secondary metabolites (SMs) biosynthesis in LS is nebulous.
