Abstract
The disclosure relates to methods and compositions for altering the production of one or more plant metabolites comprising applying an effective amount of at least one elicitor, wherein the elicitor is a jasmonate or a salicylate, and combinations thereof. The disclosure further teaches compositions comprising effective amounts of the elicitors disclosed here.
Claims65
A method for altering the production of one or more metabolites in a hop plant, plant part, or plant cell comprising:
- applying an effective amount of at least one elicitor, wherein the at least one elicitor is a jasmonate selected from the group consisting of methyl dihydrojasmonate, methyl jasmonate, jasmonic acid, cis-jasmone, transjasmone, methyl (+)-7-isojasmonate, dihydrojasmonate, prohydrojasmone, isojasmone, methyl dihydro iso jasmonate, and analogues, isomers, derivatives or conjugates thereof.
A method of altering metabolite levels in a hop plant or plant part, said method comprising:
- applying an effective amount of methyl dihydrojasmonate to a hop plant or plant part.
A method for increasing the content of a bitter acid in a hop plant, plant part, or plant cell, the method comprising:
- applying an effective amount of methyl dihydrojasmonate, wherein said effective amount is comprised of a composition having between 0.1 mM and 10 mM methyl dihydrojasmonate applied at an application rate of between 10-150 gallons per acre.
A method for increasing the content of a terpene in a hop plant, plant part, or plant cell, the method comprising:
- applying an effective amount of methyl dihydrojasmonate, wherein said effective amount is comprised of a composition having between 0.1 mM and 10 mM methyl dihydrojasmonate applied at an application rate of between 10-150 gallons per acre.
A composition comprising methyl dihydrojasmonate and a plant cell from a hop plant.
