Treating tomato seeds with rutin generates jasmonate‐dependent long‐persisting priming of broad‐spectrum resistance to herbivores
Our results conclude that rutin seed treatment promotes jasmonate accumulation in seeds and primes JA-dependent anti-herbivore defenses in tomato without cost to growth. Harnessing seed priming may, therefore, provide new avenues for better crop protection in future agriculture. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
