Prohexadione calcium [127277-53-6]

Prohexadione calcium (BX-112) is a plant growth regulator that inhibits gibberellin biosynthesis in plants [1] [2].

Prohexadione calcium at a concentration of 1 mM impedes JMJD2A demethylase activity [2], while levels of 1-2 mM prompt the transformation of mouse neurospheres into neurons [2]. When applied as a foliar spray at 100 mg/L, it mitigates saline-alkali stress in soybean seedlings [3], and further induces structural defenses against fire blight in potted apple trees [4].
