Perseitol (CAS 527-06-0)
QUICK LINKS
Perseitol, a naturally occurring cyclohexanehexol, is a distinctive sugar alcohol derived from plants, particularly avocados and some species within the Oleaceae family. This compound plays a pivotal role in plant metabolism and adaptation, serving as a compatible solute that helps in osmoregulation and stress response to environmental challenges such as drought or high salinity. In research, perseitol is of significant interest due to its involvement in plant signaling pathways and its potential as a biomarker for physiological and environmental stress conditions. Its unique chemical structure, featuring multiple hydroxyl groups, allows it to participate in a wide range of biochemical reactions, making it an invaluable tool for studying carbohydrate metabolism and transport in plants. Additionally, perseitol′s role in mediating plant-microbe interactions is a burgeoning area of study, offering insights into the complex symbiotic relationships that define ecosystem dynamics and plant health.
