Plant Hormones Analysis Services
Plant hormones are naturally occurring secondary metabolites that play a key role in the whole life cycle of plants, including cell division, enlargement and differentiation, organ development, seed dormancy and germination, leaf and organ senescence. Well-known plant hormones include ethylene, abscisic acid, gibberellins, jasmonates, brassinosteroids and salicylates. Some special plant secondary metabolites, such as nitric oxide (NO) and the newly discovered strigolactones, have also been identified as plant hormones due to their similar mode of action[1]. Plant hormones are a variety of trace endogenous compounds with developmental and rapid responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Many defense responses are all triggered by plant hormones, such as pathogen attack, lesions resulting from insect feeding or other damage, drought and salinity.
Plant hormones, as regulatory factors of plant growth and development, can directly or indirectly influence crop yields. Therefore, the physiological study of plant hormones has become an imperative goal for agriculture development. However, it is important to note that endogenous levels of plant hormones are very low, and quantitative analysis is still difficult.
As a leading provider of plant hormones analysis, Alfa Chemistry has a team of highly skilled biologists and analysts with rich plant hormones analysis knowledge. We are confident that our plant hormones analysis services will make a significant contribution to your metabolites research.
Our Service Scope
Alfa Chemistry has developed sensitive and accurate analysis methods to realize the qualitative and quantitative of plant hormones. We provide analysis services for various plant hormones. These plant hormones include, but are not limited to the following. In addition, we can also analyze multiple plant hormones simultaneously.
Cytokinin hormones
Cytokinin hormones play an important role in the cytokinesis process. Cytokinin hormones are naturally synthesized in plants where rapid cell division occurs. Alfa Chemistry offers cytokinin hormones analysis services to customers.
Gibberellin hormones
Gibberellin hormones can induce the formation of hydrolytic enzymes of germinating cereal grains and barley seeds. Alfa Chemistry offers gibberellin hormones analysis services to customers.
Auxin hormones
Auxin hormones promote cell elongation of stems and roots, and prevent premature fall of leaves, flowers, and fruits. Alfa Chemistry offers auxin hormones analysis services for customers.
Ethylene plant hormones
Ethylene plant hormones can induce root growth and root hair formation thereby increasing the absorption surface. Alfa Chemistry offers ethylene plant hormones analysis services to customers.
