Karrikins and strigolactones are novel plant growth regulators that contain similar molecular features, but very little is known about how they elicit responses in plants. A tentative molecular mechanism has previously been proposed involving a Michael-type addition for both compounds. Through structure-activity studies with karrikins, we now propose an alternative mechanism for karrikin and strigolactone mode of action that involves hydrolysis of the butenolide ring.
卡里卡丁和独脚金内酯是两种新型的植物生长调节剂,它们含有相似的分子特征,但对于它们如何在植物中引发反应,人们知之甚少。此前曾提出过一个暂定的分子机制,涉及这两种化合物的迈克尔型加成。通过对卡里卡丁的结构活性研究,我们现在提出了一种替代机制,用于卡里卡丁和独脚金内酯的作用模式,该机制涉及丁烯内酯环的水解。
