Abstract: Jasmonates (JAs), which can exogenously induce anti-herbivore defensive reaction in plants, are important in the field of plant physiology and plant protection. We summarized the ecological effects of exogenous JAs applied on 40 species of plants on various herbivores (such as Lepidoptera and Hemipteran) and their natural enemies in the past 20 years. We systematically genera-lized the research status about the direct and indirect antiherbivore defense induced by JAs, induced systemic defense, induction methods, induced performance in field, and the application status of JAs. Moreover, combining with the latest literatures, we reviewed the effects of JAs on plant growth-defense trade-offs from the cross-talk between phytohormone signaling pathways, and the regulation of nodes in the JA signaling pathway. Finally, we proposed the future directions and key aspects of the research on the plant anti-herbivore defense induced by exogenous JAs, which would promote the development of the related research and the application of JAs in field.
