Chlormequat chloride

SKU: orb1306549

Description

Chlormequat chloride is a plant growth regulator used in agricultural research to study its effects on crop sturdiness and stem strength. It serves as a valuable tool for in vitro and in vivo studies investigating plant physiology, hormone regulation, and growth modification.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Chlormequat chloride(5 μg/mL) increased the embryonic growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels both in vitro and in vivo compared with the control ones.

• In Vitro:
  Chlormequat chloride at 150μg/ml (0.93mM) retarded the rat embryo growth without causing significant morphological malformations and at 500μg/ml (3.1mM) caused both retardation and morphological malformation of the embryos. However, the proliferation and differentiation of limb bud cells were not affected by chlormequat chloride at as high as up to 1000μg/ml (6.2mM) applied. This concentration of chlormequat chloride did not affect the cell viability as examined by 3T3 fibroblast cytotoxicity test either, suggesting that cellular toxicity may not play a role in chlormequat induced inhibition of rat embryo growth.
