ALTRENOGEST Usage And Synthesis

Description

Ethylene, an important plant regulator, is synthesized from S-adenosyl-L-methionine by the sequential action of 1-amino-cyclopropane-carboxylate (ACC) synthases (ACSs) and ACC oxidases (ACOs). Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine is an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis that, at 1 μM, blocks the activity of both ACSs and ACOs. Through this action, it reduces ethylene-mediated changes in plant growth and development. Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine also inhibits cystathionine γ-lyase (K_i = 10.5 μM) with slow- and tight-binding characteristics.

Uses

Inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis in plants.

Uses

Inhibition of ethylene biosynthesis delays ripening of fruits in plants treated with AVG.

Uses

(S)-trans-2-Amino-4-(2-aminoethoxy)-3-butenoic acid hydrochloride or AVG has been used as a supplement in medium to grow seeds for germination test.

Biochem/physiol Actions

(S)-trans-2-Amino-4-(2-aminoethoxy)-3-butenoic acid hydrochloride, is an ethylene synthesis inhibitor. It is used to study the roles of ethylene in plant processes such as gravitropism and fasciation/cresting.
