Анотация: Methyl jasmonate (MeJA), which is one of the plant lipid derivatives, is considered as a signaling substance during plantmicrobe interactions. It is related to plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. To assess the influence of MeJA on soil pathogens, the direct effect of artificially applied MeJA on Cylindrocarpon destructans (a soilborne pathogen causing root rot of ginseng) was evaluated. MeJA strongly inhibited its growth and spore germination, whereas it stimulated phytopathogenic enzyme activities of this pathogen
