The Chemistry of Benzothiadiazole Plant Activators

Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) is an inducible resistance mechanism in plants that, together with other defence mechanisms, provides broad-spectrum and long-lasting disease control. With novel screening techniques the benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazole-7-carboxylic acid derivatives have been identified as a new class of chemicals which stimulate the plant's own defence mechanisms. The synthesis and biological activities of various benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazoles and related structures are described. S-Methyl benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazole-7-carbothioate is the first synthetic chemical ‘plant activator’ that has been developed for this novel disease control concept. © 1997 SCI     

基因活化剂对甘薯蒸腾速率和水分利用率的影响

基因活化剂使用浓度(A)设3个水平:375×(A1),750×(A2),1 500×(A3)稀释液;使用时间(B)设4个水平:浸渍种苗基部1 h(B1)和1次(B2),2次(B3),3次(B4)叶面追肥。第3次追肥1个月后测定各处理的光合速率和蒸腾速率,计算水分利用率。结果表明:蒸腾速率A1比对照低1.36%,A2和A3比对照分别高18.10%和16.93%,水分利用率A1,A2和A3分别比对照提高28.30%,8.47%和5.94%;蒸腾速率B1,B2,B3和B4分别比对照提高13.84%,5.23%,11.27%和14.55%,水分利用率分别比对照提高9.85%,21.64%,11.19%和14.27%,与对照差异均达显著水平(P<0.05)。A1B2为最佳水平组合,蒸腾速率比对照降低9.79%,水分利用率比对照提高49.45%。即用375倍的基因活化剂浸渍种苗基部1 h再追肥1次,可显著降低紫色甘薯的蒸腾速率和提高其水分利用率。
