Description
Paclobutrazol is an anti-gibberellin often used for thickening up turf grasses; 1-tert-butyl-2-(P-chlorobenzyl)-2-(1,2,4-Triazol-1-yl)Ethanol
Application
Paclobutrazol is known as a growth retardant containing an N-containing heterocycle. It functions by inhibiting cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases, which are enzymes that catalyzes the oxidation of ent-kaurene into ent-kaurene acid, thus it inhibits the gibberellins biosynthesis which leads to the inhibition of internodes elongation.
It has been reported that Paclobutrazol enhances tuberization of potato at any sucrose concentration.Paclobutrazol also aids in preventing seed germination. A treatment of silver maple seeds with 1 mM paclobutrazol has been shown to delay germination by 50%.
