Product Information

• Name: 3-Methyl 2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one
• Synonyms: KarrikinolideKAR1
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Methyl 2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one (3MHFP) is a plant hormone that belongs to the group of butenolides. It is a karrikin and has been shown to have a variety of physiological effects in plants. 3MHFP binds to specific receptors on the plasma membrane, which causes an increase in Ca++ and K+ ion flow through cell membranes. This leads to inhibition of enzymes such as dehydrocostus lactone oxidase, which are involved in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). 3MHFP also affects seed germination, stimulating it at low concentrations and inhibiting it at high concentrations. The mechanisms underlying these effects are not fully understood, but may be due to its ability to regulate metabolism.
