Salicylic acid (SA) mediates plant antipathogen responses, while its methylated derivative, MeSA, broadly mediates plant-insect interactions without specificity. Here, we identified dimethyl salicylate (DMSA), an unappreciated dimethylated SA catabolite, emitted by rice when attacked by the major destructive pest, the brown planthopper. DMSA biosynthesis requires an\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">O<\/jats:italic>\n                    -methyltransferase cascade, BSMT1 (benzoic acid\/salicylic acid carboxyl methyltransferase 1)\u2013MSOMT (methyl salicylate\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">O<\/jats:italic>\n                    -methyltransferase), which is directly activated by a jasmonate (JA)\u2013responsive MYC2-JAMYB transcriptional cascade.
