MeSH definition : Eighteen-carbon cyclopentyl polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from ALPHA-LINOLENIC
ACID via an oxidative pathway analogous to the EICOSANOIDS in animals. Biosynthesis
is inhibited by SALICYLATES. A key member, jasmonic acid of PLANTS, plays a similar
role to ARACHIDONIC ACID in animals.;
