Abstract
The present invention relates to biotechnology. The invention can be used for stimulation of regeneration of plants from tissues and undifferentiated cells cultivated under artificial conditions. The present invention can also be applied in agriculture for acceleration of germination of seeds, increase in germination of aged, long-stored seeds as well as for increase of resistance of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses.
Claims13
A method for stimulating regeneration, growth, and/or resistance to stress, or increasing the lifetime, of a plant, or cutting thereof, or its flower or fruit, comprising administering to the plant or portion thereof an effective amount of the compound of structure I:
- or a solvate or isomer thereof, or an agrochemically or physiologically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
- A is an effector—antioxidant of structure:
- or reduced form thereof, wherein:
- m is an integer from 1 to 3;
- each Y is lower alkyl or lower alkoxy;
- or two adjacent Y groups, together with carbon atoms to which they are attached, form a following structure:
- or reduced form thereof,
- wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are each independently lower alkyl or lower alkoxy;
- L is a linker group, comprising:
- a) a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain which can be optionally substituted by one or more substituents and optionally contains one or more double or triple bonds;
- or
- b) a natural isoprene chain;
- n is integer from 1 to 20;
- B is a targeting group, comprising:
- Sk+Z−:
- wherein:
- Sk is a triphenylphosphonium cation;
- and
- Z is an acceptable anion;
- provided that is not ubiquinone or tocopherol or mimetic of superoxide dismutase or ebselen;
- while L is divanlent decyl or divalent pentyl or divalent propyl radical;
- and
- an agrochemically or physiologically acceptable carrier thereof.
