Description

Epi-(+)-Strigolactone Gr24 is a synthetic analog of the natural plant hormone strigolactone, specifically designed for research and agricultural applications. This compound is critical for studying and manipulating plant-microbe interactions, particularly the symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. It is an essential tool for plant biologists, agricultural researchers, and companies developing next-generation plant growth regulators. The product is supplied as a high-purity analytical standard and research chemical, identified by CAS No. 188062-51-3.

Application

• Plant Hormone Research: A key reference standard for investigating strigolactone biosynthesis, signaling pathways, and physiological roles in plant development.
• Symbiosis Studies: Used to induce hyphal branching in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, facilitating research into plant-fungal symbiotic relationships and nutrient uptake.
• Seed Germination Studies: Employed in bioassays to study the germination of parasitic plants (e.g., Striga and Orobanche species) for developing control strategies.
• Agricultural Product Development: Serves as a lead compound or standard for formulating novel plant growth regulators and biostimulants aimed at improving crop resilience and yield.
• Chemical Ecology: Used to explore below-ground chemical communication between plants and other organisms in the rhizosphere.
• Phytochemical Analysis: Acts as a critical analytical standard for the identification and quantification of strigolactones in complex plant matrices using HPLC or LC-MS.

Quality Control

Our Epi-(+)-Strigolactone Gr24 is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles. We adhere to ISO 9001 quality management principles, and our analytical methods are validated to meet the rigorous standards expected by the global research community.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed under desiccant and opened only in a controlled environment to minimize exposure to moisture and light. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
