Bioactivity | Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) is a plant resistance inducer that mimics pathogen-host interactions and leads to systemic acquired resistance in plants. Acibenzolar-S-methyl helps reduce the use of pesticides and can be used in research to prevent plant diseases[1][2]. |
Target | Bacterial, fungal. |
Name | Acibenzolar-S-methyl |
CAS | 135158-54-2 |
Formula | C8H6N2OS2 |
Molar Mass | 210.28 |
Transport | Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere. |
Storage | Please store the product under the recommended conditions in the Certificate of Analysis. |
