Description

12-Oxophytodienoic Acid is a key biosynthetic intermediate in the jasmonate pathway, playing a crucial role in plant signaling and defense mechanisms. Its significance lies in its function as a precursor to jasmonic acid, a vital plant hormone that regulates growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stress. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the agricultural biotechnology, plant physiology, and pharmaceutical sectors, where it is used to study and modulate plant hormone pathways for crop improvement and bioactive compound synthesis.

Application

• Plant Hormone Research: A critical standard and precursor for studying the biosynthesis and signaling pathways of jasmonates.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Used in developing strategies to enhance crop resilience against pests, pathogens, and environmental stress.
• Phytochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate in the laboratory synthesis of jasmonic acid and related bioactive compounds.
• Plant Defense Mechanism Studies: Applied in research to understand and trigger systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants.
• Seed Germination & Development: Investigated for its role in regulating seed dormancy, germination, and seedling development.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Utilized as a reference compound in metabolomics and analytical chemistry to map plant stress responses.
