The major plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA) controls a wide range of important biological processes; in particular stress responses and male reproductive development (Wasternack and Song, 2017). Local de novo biosynthesis as well long-distance transport of JA and subsequent perception of its conjugate jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) leads to the activation of a large transcriptional regulatory network with thousands of genes transcriptionally reprogrammed (Aerts et al., 2021; Wasternack and Song, 2017). Key regulators of this JA-initiated transcriptional network are the JAZ (JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN) proteins that directly repress the master transcription factors (TFs) MYC2 to MYC5 and other TFs (Wasternack and Song, 2017).
