Galactinol dihydrate functions as a precursor in the biosynthesis of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs). It plays a role in the regulation of plant responses to abiotic stress, such as drought and high salinity, by acting as an osmoprotectant. Galactinol Dihydrate is involved in the modulation of cellular redox status and the protection of cellular structures from oxidative damage. Galactinol dihydrate achieves this by participating in the synthesis of RFOs, which act as compatible solutes and antioxidants. Through its mechanism of action, Galactinol dihydrate contributes to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and the enhancement of stress tolerance in plants. At the molecular level, galactinol dihydrate interacts with specific enzymes and substrates to facilitate the production of RFOs, thereby influencing the plant′s response to environmental stressors.
