Produktinformation

• Name: Mepiquat chloride
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Mepiquat chloride is a non-selective inhibitor of plant growth, which blocks the synthesis of protein and RNA in plants by inhibiting the activity of enzymes involved in nitrogen metabolism. The optimum concentration for mepiquat chloride is 0.5 to 1.0 mM with a range of 0.1 to 10 mM. Mepiquat chloride can be extracted from kidney beans or purchased as an analytical reagent. Mepiquat chloride has been shown to inhibit the activities of various enzymes, including choline acetyltransferase, histidine decarboxylase, and glutamine synthetase, at concentrations below 0.5 mM. This inhibition was synergistic with other inhibitors such as 2-deoxyglucose and sodium azide. In addition, mepiquat chloride has been shown to inhibit cell growth and root formation in plant cells in culture at concentrations between 1 and 100 μM.
