description Jasmonic acid (JA) is a vital plant hormone that performs a variety of critical functions for plants. <i>Salvia miltiorrhiza</i> Bunge (<i>S. miltiorrhiza</i>), also known as Danshen, is a renowned traditional Chinese medicinal herb. However, no thorough and systematic analysis of JA biosynthesis genes in <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i> exists. Through genome-wide prediction and molecular cloning, 23 candidate genes related to JA biosynthesis were identified in <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i>. These genes belong to four families that encode lipoxygenase (LOX), allene oxide synthase (AOS), allene oxide cyclase (AOC), and 12-OPDA reductase3 (OPR3). It was discovered that the candidate genes for JA synthesis of <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i> were distinct and conserved, in contrast to related genes in other plants, by evaluating their genetic structures, protein characteristics, and phylogenetic trees. These genes displayed tissue-specific expression patterns concerning to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and wound tests. Overall, the results of this study provide valuable information for elucidating the JA biosynthesis pathway in <i>S. miltiorrhiza</i> by comprehensive and methodical examination.
