rac-GR24 (Product No. M3990) is a representative synthetic analog used in Strigolactone research.
Strigolactones are important plant hormones involved in regulating plant growth and environmental responses. They have been reported to exhibit diverse physiological functions, including the inhibition of shoot branching, promotion of root system development, induction of symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi, and stimulation of germination in parasitic plants. As a synthetic compound that mimics the functions of natural strigolactones, rac-GR24 is widely used as a standard in plant hormone research. It serves as a powerful tool for artificially reproducing strigolactone-mediated physiological processes, particularly when natural products are difficult to obtain.1,2,3)
Furthermore, in recent years, the application of strigolactone analogs in cancer research has attracted increasing attention.4,5)
