Description

Mugineic Acid CAS NO 69199-37-7 is a naturally occurring phytosiderophore, a class of compounds secreted by graminaceous plants to chelate and solubilize iron from the soil. This compound is of significant interest for its role in plant iron nutrition and its potential applications in agricultural science and biochemistry. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of plant physiology, agricultural biotechnology, and the development of specialized fertilizers or chelating agents.

Application

• Plant Physiology & Biochemistry Research: A key tool for studying iron uptake mechanisms, metal homeostasis, and stress responses in graminaceous plants like barley, wheat, and rice.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Used in research aimed at developing crops with enhanced iron efficiency and tolerance to iron-deficient (calcareous) soils.
• Chelating Agent Studies: Serves as a model compound for investigating the chemistry and efficacy of natural, biodegradable metal chelators compared to synthetic alternatives like EDTA.
• Specialty Fertilizer Formulation: Potential use as a bioactive component in advanced fertilizer systems designed to combat chlorosis and improve iron bioavailability in specific cropping systems.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in laboratories for the quantification and identification of phytosiderophores in plant extracts and environmental samples.

Quality Control

Our Mugineic Acid is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development purposes. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters. We support compliance with relevant research and development 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 for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
