In future studies, Methyl Jasmonate can be tested further using low concentrations to determine the absolute threshold for a significant protein increase and crown gall decrease. Also, Methyl Jasmonate can be tested as a disease resistant factor by applying the chemical before inoculation of a disease to determine if this protein increase is enough to prevent a disease from infecting a plant. Since Methyl Jasmonate increases protein production, perhaps it also increases the health of the plant. Studies may be conducted determining the effect of the chemical on favored fruit and vegetable characteristics. It is now known that Methyl Jasmonate causes regression in plant cancer and apoptosis in malignant human cells. Studies may be conducted to determine further anti-cancer characteristics of the chemical.
