Characterization of the Transient Oxaphosphetane BChE Inhibitor Formed from Spontaneously Activated Ethephon
نویسندگان
چکیده
The major plant growth regulator ethephon degrades to ethylene and phosphate in aqueous solutions and plants and is spontaneously activated to a butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitor in alkaline solutions and animal tissues. In the present (31)P NMR kinetic study of the reactions of ethephon in pH 7.4 carbonate buffer, we observed a transient peak at 28.11 ppm. The time course for the appearance and disappearance of this peak matches the activation/degradation kinetic profile of the BChE inhibitor, and the chemical shift supports the proposed 2-oxo-2-hydroxy-1,2-oxaphosphetane structure.

Abscission responses to moisture stress, auxin transport inhibitors, and ethephon.
The three abscission-inducing agents - water stress, Ethephon, and auxin transport inhibitors-acted synergistically to promote leaf fall in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). However, the synergism was primarily between stress and Ethephon. Auxin transport inhibitors did not promote the effect of stress alone, only promoted the effect of Ethephon in well watered plants and gave a very small promot...
متن کاملEthylene-Induced Vinblastine Accumulation Is Related to Activated Expression of Downstream TIA Pathway Genes in Catharanthus roseus
We selected different concentrations of ethephon, to stress C. roseus. We used qRT-PCR and HPLC followed by PCA to obtain comprehensive profiling of the vinblastine biosynthesis in response to ethephon. Based on our findings, the results showed that the high concentration of ethephon had a positive effect at both transcriptional and metabolite level. Meanwhile, there was a remarkable decrease o...
متن کاملCyclanilide: Mechanism of Action and Uses as a Plant Growth Regulator in Cotton
Cyclanilide [1-(2,4-dichlorophenylaminocarbonyl)-cyclopropane carboxylic acid] is a plant growth regulator that is registered for use in cotton at different stages of growth. It can be used to suppress vegetative growth when used in combination with mepiquat chloride; or it can enhance defoliation and boll opening when used in combination with ethephon. To understand how cyclanilide affects the...

متن کاملEffect of Ethephon on Protein Degradation and the Accumulation of ;Pathogenesis-Related' (PR) Proteins in Tomato Leaf Discs.
The effect of ethephon (2-chloroetylphosphonic acid) on the degradation of proteins and on the induction of Lycopersicon esculentum pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins was studied in tomato leaf discs. The rate of ribulose, -1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) degradation was maximal in discs after 48 hours of incubation with 1 millimolar ethephon, leading to complete disappearance ...
