Description

12-Oxophytodienoate Reductase is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid, a vital plant signaling molecule. This compound matters for researchers and developers focused on plant physiology, stress response mechanisms, and agricultural biotechnology. It is primarily needed by biochemical research laboratories, agrochemical companies, and academic institutions studying plant hormone pathways and developing novel crop protection or enhancement strategies.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a critical reagent in enzymatic studies to elucidate the jasmonic acid biosynthesis pathway and its regulation.
• Plant Stress Physiology: Investigation of plant defense mechanisms against biotic (e.g., pathogens, herbivores) and abiotic (e.g., drought, salinity) stress.
• Agrochemical Development: Screening and development of new compounds that modulate jasmonate signaling for potential use as plant growth regulators or biopesticides.
• Metabolic Engineering: A tool for research aimed at genetically engineering crops with enhanced stress tolerance or altered secondary metabolite profiles.
• Enzyme Kinetics & Inhibition Studies: Serves as a substrate for characterizing enzyme activity, kinetics, and for identifying potential inhibitors.
• Phytochemical Production: Research into optimizing the production of jasmonate-related compounds in plant cell cultures or microbial systems.
