Induced twining in Ipomoea purpurea (L.) Roth.: response threshold and induction by volatiles and snail damage

Twining in some Convolvulaceae can be induced by leaf damage and jasmonic acid application. This induced response is believed to reduce the likelihood of future leaf damage and it is limited by drought. This response has been detected in the Convolvulaceae family using artificial damage. The mechani...
