Application


  • Exogenous Jasmonic Acid Alleviates Blast Resistance Reduction Caused by LOX3 Knockout in Rice.: The research explores the role of jasmonic acid, associated with methyl linolenate, in enhancing blast resistance in rice. The findings show that external application of jasmonic acid can compensate for the resistance loss due to LOX3 knockout, providing insights into plant disease management strategies (Su et al., 2023).

  • Effects of (13)C isotope-labeled allelochemicals on the growth of the invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides.: This study uses (13)C-labeled methyl linolenate to trace allelochemical effects on invasive plant species. The results indicate a significant impact on plant growth, suggesting potential applications in controlling invasive species (Hua et al., 2023).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methyl linolenate, a polyunsaturated fattly acid (PUFA), is used in studies on the mechanisms and prevention of oxidation/peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Methyl linolenate is being studied as a possible skin whitening agent with anti-melanogenesis activity.
