Abstract: Jasmonates are a type of endogenous hormones widely distributed in plants.They play an important role in plant secondary metabolism and they can induce the synthesis of phenols,terpenoids,alkaloids and other kinds of active pharmaceutical ingredients in plants.In this study,the research progress on the influence of exogenous jasmonates on the accumulation of plant secondary metabolites were summarized.It was hoped to provide some references for the cultivation and resource exploitations of the medicinal plants.

Key words: exogenous jasmonates, plant hormone, secondary metabolism, medicinal plant
