Malformin C (CAS 59926-78-2)
QUICK LINKS
Malformin C is a mycotoxin found in certain strains of the fungus Aspergillus niger and is recognized for its potential in agricultural and biological research. It has been studied for its unique phytotoxic effects, such as inducing malformations in plants, which makes it a tool for understanding plant growth and development pathways. The compound′s ability to interfere with normal plant hormone signaling can provide insights into the regulation of plant morphology. Additionally, Malformin C is used in cellular studies to examine its influence on cell proliferation and cytoskeleton dynamics due to its actin polymerization properties. Research involving Malformin C also extends to probing its biosynthetic pathways, which are of interest for discovering novel bioactive molecules and understanding fungal secondary metabolite production.
