1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene
Based on 1 Customer Validation
1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene acts as a sprout inhibitor, Antifungal agent and sporulation inhibitor. 1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene can be isolated from dormant potatoes. 1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene induces the expression of cell cycle regulators associated with G1-to-S phase transition arrest, reduces oxidative stress levels, downregulates specific transcripts including germin-like proteins and MYB transcription factors, and modulates transcripts regulated by ABI1/ABI2/ABI3 without altering endogenous ABA levels. 1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene inhibits postharvest sprouting of potato tubers. 1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene can be used in studies related to fungal infections.

Biological Activity
1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene treatment of Russet Norkota potato tuber meristems elicits a transcriptional profile distinct from dormant meristems, sharing similarities with CIPC-treated meristems in regulation of phosphatase and oxygen metabolism genes while uniquely altering ABA signaling-related transcripts[1].
1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene treatment of Russet Norkota potato tuber meristems alters expression of selected genes, including downregulation of germin-like protein, WD40, MYB transcription factor, prohibitin, and CIPK23, relative to dormant meristems[1].
1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene (4 days) exhibits fungistatic activity against Fusarium oxysporum isolated from potato tubers, reducing mycelial growth by 31% after 4 days of exposure without inhibiting spore germination[2].
