Description

Coronafacic Acid is a key phytotoxin and a significant intermediate in the biosynthesis of coronatine, a compound produced by certain plant-pathogenic bacteria. This molecule is of substantial interest in plant pathology and agricultural research for its role in modulating plant defense mechanisms and physiology. It serves as a critical reference standard and building block for researchers in agrochemical development, plant-microbe interaction studies, and synthetic biology.

Application

• Phytotoxin Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in studies investigating plant disease mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, and the molecular basis of virulence.
• Agrochemical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or lead compound in the research and synthesis of novel plant growth regulators or bio-herbicides.
• Plant Physiology Studies: Employed to study jasmonate signaling pathways and the manipulation of plant defense responses, stomatal closure, and secondary metabolite production.
• Synthetic Biology: Acts as a crucial biosynthetic precursor in the engineered production of coronatine and its analogs.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in enzymatic assays and studies related to polyketide synthase (PKS) pathways and natural product biosynthesis.
• Reference Standard: Provides a high-purity standard for analytical methods such as HPLC, LC-MS, and NMR in quality control and research laboratories.
