Description

(+/-)-Jasmonic Acid CAS NO 3572-66-5 is a vital plant signaling molecule and a key member of the jasmonate class of phytohormones. This compound plays a central role in regulating plant defense mechanisms, growth, and development in response to environmental stresses. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the agricultural, plant biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking to study or utilize plant hormone pathways.

Application

• Plant Physiology & Stress Response Research: Fundamental studies on plant signaling, defense gene activation, and systemic acquired resistance.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Development of bio-stimulants and elicitors to enhance crop resilience against biotic (pests, pathogens) and abiotic (drought, salinity) stress.
• Plant Tissue Culture: Used as a growth regulator to influence cell division, root formation, and somatic embryogenesis in vitro.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Investigation of jasmonate biosynthesis and its interplay with other hormone signaling networks like salicylic acid and ethylene.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Research: Exploration of its potential bioactive properties, including anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects, for novel therapeutic or cosmetic applications.
• Seed Treatment & Priming: Application to improve seed germination vigor and seedling establishment under challenging conditions.
• Post-Harvest Physiology: Research into its role in fruit ripening, senescence, and the maintenance of post-harvest quality.

Quality Control

Our (+/-)-Jasmonic Acid is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with relevant research and quality standards, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider freezing at -20°C.
