Description

(±)-Abscisic Aldehyde CAS NO 29448-38-2 is a key biosynthetic intermediate in the pathway of abscisic acid, a vital plant hormone. This compound matters for researchers and manufacturers focused on plant physiology, stress response, and agricultural biotechnology. It is primarily needed by professionals in agrochemical R&D, academic research institutions, and specialty chemical synthesis for developing novel plant growth regulators and studying abiotic stress signaling pathways.

Application

• Agrochemical Research & Development: As a critical precursor in the study and synthesis of abscisic acid and related analogs for plant growth regulation.
• Plant Physiology Studies: Used in laboratory research to investigate biosynthetic pathways, stomatal closure, and plant responses to drought, salinity, and cold stress.
• Biochemical Standard: Serves as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for the quantification of abscisic acid pathway metabolites via HPLC or LC-MS.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: An intermediate for the custom synthesis of labeled compounds (e.g., deuterated or 13C-labeled) for tracer studies and advanced metabolic research.
• Seed Dormancy & Germination Research: Employed in studies aiming to understand and manipulate seed dormancy mechanisms to improve crop yields.
