9-OxoOTrE (CAS 125559-74-2)

9-OxoOTrE, carrying the CAS number 125559-74-2, is a synthetic derivative of oxophytodienoic acid, a compound belonging to the oxylipin family, which are metabolites derived from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This particular compound is structurally related to jasmonic acid, a plant hormone involved in regulating growth, development, and stress responses in plants. The mechanism of action of 9-OxoOTrE primarily involves the modulation of gene expression related to stress and developmental pathways in plants. It functions by mimicking natural oxylipins, thereby interacting with specific receptors that regulate transcription factors and downstream genes responsible for plant defenses and growth adjustments. In research, 9-OxoOTrE has been utilized to study the signaling pathways involved in plant responses to environmental stresses such as wounding, pathogen attack, or drought conditions. This compound aids in elucidating the complex network of signals that govern plant adaptation to adverse conditions, providing insights into the molecular basis of stress resistance and recovery mechanisms. Furthermore, studies involving 9-OxoOTrE contribute to the broader understanding of plant hormone interactions and their effects on plant physiology, offering potential strategies for enhancing crop resilience through genetic and biochemical approaches.
