| Abstract |
Jasmonic acid (JA) and its methyl ester (JA-Me) are able to introduce the accumulation of several specific polypeptides in cut leaf segments of barley. Two of the most prominent JA-induced proteins of M(r) 15,000 and 23,000 have been characterized by isolating and sequencing complete cDNA sequences. While the sequence of the M(r) 23,000 polypeptide shows no similarity to published sequences, the sequence of the M(r) 15,000 polypeptide corresponds to the higher-molecular-weight precursor of a leaf thionin previously characterized. Transcripts for the M(r) 23,000 and M(r) 15,000 polypeptides accumulate in leaf segments shortly after the beginning of JA treatment. JA and JA-Me induce the appearance of the two proteins not only in leaf segments but also in intact barley seedlings. However, in seedlings the accumulation of JA-induced proteins occurs much more slowly and requires high concentrations of volatile JA-Me. Thus, in barley it seems unlikely that volatile JA-Me is involved in the interaction between different members of this species, as has been proposed recently for tomato seedlings. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 December 2011.
All research outputs
#4,696,560
of 22,788,370 outputs
Outputs from Plant Molecular Biology
#390
of 2,846 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,253
of 19,140 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Molecular Biology
#3
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,788,370 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,846 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 19,140 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
