(3 R , 7 S )-11-hydroxy-jasmonic acid is a major oxidative shunt product of jasmonic acid catabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana

Nature Communications, Published online: 21 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-73528-9 This study identifies 11-OH-JA, not 12-OH-JA, as the major JOX-derived shunt product accumulating in wounded Arabidopsis. 11-OH-JA does not bind the COI1-JAZ co-receptor, redefining JA catabolism as a deactivation pathway.
