    Product Description

    Acetosyringone is a phenol secreted by wounded plant tissues.1 It induces expression of virulence A genes and chemotaxis in A. tumefaciens strains that contain a tumor-inducing plasmid used to transfer genetic information to plant cells.1,2 Acetosyringone is widely used to increase efficacy of genetic transformation for the creation of genetically modified dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
