We also identified a new oxylipin: a highly oxidized form of jasmonoyl-isoleucine.

Reymond, P., Weber H., Damond M. and Farmer E.E. (2000) Differential gene expression in response to mechanical wounding and insect feeding in Arabidopsis. Plant Cell 12, 707-719. Details This microarray analysis of responses to herbivory in Arabidopsis supported an important role for jasmonates in gene expression following insect damage. Interestingly, genes that are strongly upregulated in mechanically crushed tissues and also induced during dehydration were less activated by insects. The implication is that insect feeding strategies might minimise the cut leaf surface exposed to the air. This, of course, might help explain why insects often cut circles and semi-circles in leaves.
