Product Description
Growth-modulating peptides (GMPs) are a class of small signaling molecules that play crucial roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. They are typically encoded by the genome and function by coordinating and integrating cellular activities to facilitate cell-cell communication .
Product Introduction:
- Name: Growth-modulating Peptide (GMP)
- Function: Regulates plant growth and development, stress adaptation, and communication with microbes in the rhizosphere.
- Category: Biochemical signaling molecules in plants.
Properties:
- Size: GMPs are generally small peptides, around 1,000 Da or less.
- Mechanism: They function as intercellular signal transducers, binding to specific receptors at very low concentrations.
- Activity: Some GMPs require post-translational modifications, such as tyrosine sulfation, for full biological activity .
Uses:
- Plant Growth Regulation: GMPs are vital for maintaining the root stem cell niche and regulating root pattern formation.
- Stress Response: They help plants adapt to environmental stresses such as temperature extremes, drought, and salinity.
- Microbe Interaction: GMPs facilitate communication with beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere, enhancing plant health and nutrient uptake .
Benefits:
- Improved Plant Health: By modulating growth and development, GMPs contribute to overall plant fitness and stress tolerance.
- Enhanced Nutrient Use: GMPs can improve plant nutrient uptake and utilization, particularly in conditions of nutrient deficiency.
- Symbiotic Relationships: They support beneficial plant-microbe interactions, which can lead to improved soil health and plant growth .
Safety Information:
- Environmental Impact: As natural plant-produced molecules, GMPs are expected to have minimal negative environmental impact.
- Regulatory Status: GMPs are not typically subject to the same regulatory oversight as synthetic chemicals in agriculture.
