Definition

ChEBI: Methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate is a methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of phloretic acid with methanol. It is a nitrification inhibitor and a plant growth regulator. It has a role as a nitrification inhibitor and a plant growth regulator. It is a member of phenols and a methyl ester. It is functionally related to a phloretic acid.

General Description

Methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate is reported to be responsible for biological nitrification inhibition in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor).
