Description

Zinniol CAS NO 17811-28-8 is a specific organic compound belonging to the class of phytotoxins, originally identified as a metabolite from certain fungi. This compound is of significant interest in agricultural research and plant pathology for its role as a non-host-specific phytotoxin. It serves as a critical tool for researchers and agrochemical developers investigating plant-pathogen interactions, disease mechanisms, and the development of novel plant protection strategies or bioherbicides.

Application

• Plant Pathology Research: Used as a standard phytotoxin to study disease development, symptomology, and host susceptibility in various crops.
• Mode of Action Studies: Employed in biochemical and physiological research to elucidate the mechanisms of phytotoxin activity on plant cells and tissues.
• Agrochemical Screening: Serves as a bioactive reference compound in screens for new fungicides or compounds that can mitigate toxin effects.
• Plant Defense Elicitation: Investigated for its potential to trigger systemic acquired resistance (SAR) or other defense responses in plants.
• Biochemical Reagent: Utilized in laboratory settings for specialized studies on membrane permeability, chlorophyll degradation, and other toxin-induced processes.
