Description

Rhizopine is a specialized, naturally occurring chemical mediator that plays a crucial role in plant-microbe signaling, particularly within symbiotic relationships. Its primary value lies in its function as a molecular signal, influencing nodulation and nitrogen fixation processes in leguminous plants. This compound is essential for researchers and developers in agricultural biotechnology, plant science research, and the development of advanced biofertilizers or plant growth regulators.

Application

• Agricultural Research: Fundamental studies on rhizobia-legume symbiosis and nitrogen fixation mechanisms.
• Biofertilizer Development: A key target molecule for enhancing the efficiency and specificity of microbial inoculants.
• Plant Biotechnology: Engineering of novel plant-microbe interactions for improved crop performance and stress tolerance.
• Plant Signaling Pathways: Investigation of opine-like compounds and their role in chemical communication within the rhizosphere.
• Synthetic Biology: Used as a model compound or inducer in engineered biological systems for controlled gene expression in microbes.

Quality Control

Our Rhizopine is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive biological research. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant ISO standards, and our quality systems support development toward cGMP-grade material for advanced applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity.
