Rac 12-Oxophytodienoic Acid (12-OPDA)(CAT: R013866) is a naturally occurring plant oxylipin and a precursor to jasmonic acid, which plays a significant role in plant defense and development. It is involved in the plant’s response to biotic and abiotic stress, including herbivory and pathogen attack. 12-OPDA also has signaling functions independent of jasmonic acid, regulating processes such as seed germination, root growth, and reproductive development. As a racemic mixture, rac 12-OPDA is used in research to study these signaling pathways and understand its role in plant stress response mechanisms, as well as its potential applications in agricultural biotechnology.
