Summary

Radishes were trimmed to 5-mm tops and dipped in various methyl jasmonate suspensions for 3 min. The lengths of root growth were reduced by methyl jasmonate, particularly at higher concentrations. These treatments also substantially prevented weight loss, possibly as a secondary effect from reducing the transpiration surface. Fumigation with methyl jasmonate vapor in enclosed containers was also effective but to a lesser extent than dipping treatments.
