Usage

General Description

3-Methoxyphenoxyacetic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H10O4. It is a synthetic auxin, a type of plant growth regulator that stimulates cell elongation and division, and is commonly used in agriculture to control the growth and development of plants. 3-Methoxyphenoxyacetic acid is primarily used as a herbicide, acting as a post-emergent selective herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in various crops, including cereals, corn, and sugarcane. It works by disrupting the growth and development of weeds, leading to their eventual death. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential use in tissue culture and as a growth promoter for plants. 3-Methoxyphenoxyacetic acid is a white crystalline solid with a slight odor and is considered to be moderately toxic, with potential adverse effects on human health and the environment.

Design and Synthesis of New 1,3,4-Oxadiazole - Benzothiazole and Hydrazone Derivatives as Promising Chemotherapeutic Agents

Design and Synthesis of Novel 4-Hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one Derivatives for Use as Herbicides and Evaluation of Their Mode of Action

In order to develop a novel herbicide containing the β-triketone motif, a series of 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results showed that compound II15 had good pre-emergent herbicidal activity even at a dosage of 187.5 g ha-1. Moreover, compound II15 showed a broader spectrum of weed control when compared with a commercial herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and displayed good crop safety to Triticum aestivum L. and Zea mays Linn. when applied at 375 g ha-1 under pre-emergence conditions, which indicated its great potential as a herbicide. More importantly, studying the molecular mode of action of compound II15 revealed that the novel triketone structure is a proherbicide of its corresponding phenoxyacetic acid auxin herbicide, which has a herbicidal mechanism similar to that of 2,4-D. The present work indicates that the 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one motif may be a potential lead structure for further development of novel auxin-type herbicides.

Finding new elicitors that induce resistance in rice to the white-backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera

Herein we report a new way to identify chemical elicitors that induce resistance in rice to herbivores. Using this method, by quantifying the induction of chemicals for GUS activity in a specific screening system that we established previously, 5 candidate elicitors were selected from the 29 designed and synthesized phenoxyalkanoic acid derivatives. Bioassays confirmed that these candidate elicitors could induce plant defense and then repel feeding of white-backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera.
