| Bioactivity | Prohexadione (BX-112 free acid) is a plant growth regulator. Prohexadione inhibits gibberellin biosynthesis of plants[1][2]. |
| Target | Gibberellin biosynthesis |
| Invitro | Prohexadione (1 mM) inhibits JMJD2A demethylase activity[2].Prohexadione (1-2 mM) induces the differentiation of mouse neurospheres into neurons[2].Prohexadione (100 mg/L, sprayed on the leaves) alleviates saline-alkali stress in soybean seedlings[3].Prohexadione induces structural resistance to fire blight infection in potted apple trees[4]. |
