As a natural (PGR), jasmonic acids are found in plants in a wide distribution. The jasmonic acid functions in conjunction with other plant hormones as a component of a complex signalling network rather than alone. They are utilised to elicit a reaction during wounding and are frequently employed for stimulating the formation of secondary metabolites in various in vitro culture systems. The use of jasmonic acid appears to be effective at various stages of the micropropagation system for various species. Jasmonic acids increase the rate of shoot, root, and callus proliferation, as well as the development of microtubers and bulblets. However, there are also reports of adverse effects of jasmonic acids on the health of plant tissues, such as leaf senescence, decreased growth, and impaired somatic embryogenesis. This study provides an overview of the present state of knowledge on the use and characteristics of jasmonates under in vitro circumstances.
