Abstract: Here we report a new, easy and sensitive method to quantify systemin in plants that can be applied for the measurements of other plant peptides. The study of what systemin does in plants by metabolic means, shows that systemin has a relevant role in defence, and not only as a starting point of jasmonate synthesis.
