Description

Fusicoccin is a diterpene glucoside phytotoxin produced by the fungus *Fusicoccum amygdali*, primarily known for its potent and specific activity as a 14-3-3 protein agonist. This unique mode of action makes it an invaluable research tool for studying plant physiology and cell signaling pathways. It is essential for researchers and developers in plant biology, agrochemical discovery, and fundamental biochemical research investigating protein-protein interactions and hormone responses.

Application

• Plant Physiology Research: A critical tool for studying stomatal regulation, as it induces irreversible stomatal opening by activating the plasma membrane H+-ATPase via 14-3-3 proteins.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a highly specific molecular probe to investigate 14-3-3 protein function and their interactions with client phosphoproteins in various signaling cascades.
• Agrochemical Mode-of-Action Studies: Employed in the discovery and development of novel plant growth regulators and herbicides by elucidating key physiological control mechanisms.
• Cell Biology: Facilitates research into ion transport, cell expansion, and apoptosis in plant systems.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in laboratories.
