Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine hydrochloride Structural

What is Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine hydrochloride?

Description

Ethylene, an important plant regulator, is synthesized from S-adenosyl-L-methionine by the sequential action of 1-amino-cyclopropane-carboxylate (ACC) synthases (ACSs) and ACC oxidases (ACOs). Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine is an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis that, at 1 μM, blocks the activity of both ACSs and ACOs. Through this action, it reduces ethylene-mediated changes in plant growth and development. Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine also inhibits cystathionine γ-lyase (K_i = 10.5 μM) with slow- and tight-binding characteristics.

The Uses of Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine hydrochloride

Inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis in plants.

The Uses of Aminoethoxyvinyl glycine hydrochloride

Inhibition of ethylene biosynthesis delays ripening of fruits in plants treated with AVG.
