Strigolactone Mimic That Induces Germination and Withering of Striga
Sphynolactone-7 (TCI code: P2745) is a strigolactone mimic developed at Nagoya University for the control of Striga, a root parasitic weed. It can induce germination and withering of Striga in soil without a host plant as a nutrient source, making it a revolutionary control method for this weed.¹) Its germination activity against Striga is extremely high, while its action as a plant hormone on plants is very weak. The combination of extremely high germination activity and very weak hormonal action makes Sphynolactone-7 a distinctive option for Striga research in soil. Packaging: 5 mg / 25 mg.
