Description

Colletotrichin is a secondary metabolite and a phytotoxin produced by fungi of the genus *Colletotrichum*. This compound is of significant interest in agricultural research and plant pathology for its role as a virulence factor. It serves as a critical tool for researchers and agrochemical developers studying plant-fungus interactions, disease mechanisms, and potential biocontrol strategies. Industries engaged in advanced crop protection R&D and academic phytopathology are the primary users of this specialized biochemical.

Application

• Plant Pathology Research: Used as a standard phytotoxin to study infection mechanisms and host-specific responses in plants.
• Fungal Virulence Studies: Essential for investigating the pathogenicity factors of *Colletotrichum* species and related fungi.
• Agrochemical Screening: Serves as a bioactive compound in assays to screen and evaluate the efficacy of new fungicides and plant defense activators.
• Plant Defense Mechanism Analysis: Employed to elicit and study induced systemic resistance (ISR) and other plant immune responses.
• Biocontrol Agent Development: A reference compound in the research for developing microbial-based biocontrol products.
• Metabolic Pathway Investigation: Used in biochemical studies to elucidate toxin biosynthesis pathways in fungi.

Quality Control

Our Colletotrichin is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for research applications. While specific pharmacopeial standards (USP, EP) may not apply, the product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including purity assessment by HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and related substances is provided with each batch to support your research integrity and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. The container should be kept in a dry, well-ventilated area designated for laboratory chemicals.
