Description

Gibberelic Acid Methyl Ester is a bioactive methyl ester derivative of gibberellic acid, a key plant growth hormone. This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and lipophilicity compared to its parent acid, making it a crucial intermediate in agricultural research and fine chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought by professionals in the agrochemical, plant physiology, and pharmaceutical development sectors for formulating plant growth regulators and conducting advanced biochemical studies.

Application

• Agricultural Research & Formulation: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel, more stable gibberellin-based plant growth regulators to study and influence processes like seed germination, stem elongation, and flowering.
• Plant Physiology Studies: Used in laboratory settings to investigate the specific mechanisms of gibberellin signaling and metabolism in plants, thanks to its modified properties.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a specialized building block for the production of other gibberellin analogs and labeled compounds for tracer studies.
• Horticulture & Floriculture: Potential use in experimental formulations aimed at controlling plant growth, improving fruit set, or managing harvest timing in high-value crops.
