Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted research and development aiming to establish a foundation for the development of plant hormone control technology to mitigate agricultural damage primarily caused by Striga, a globally spreading parasitic weed. Our objectives included followings. 1) creation of self-induced germination agents: We synthesized SL receptor agonists and ethylene agonists for Striga seeds, which, in the absence of host crops, induce germination without parasitic attachment, leading to subsequent withering and death.2) Development of SL biosynthesis inhibitors: We worked on controlling SL production in host crops without affecting crop productivity, thereby reducing damage caused by root parasitic weeds.3) Investigation of SL receptor-specific inhibitors for Striga seeds: We aimed to develop compounds that specifically inhibit the receptors for SL in Striga seeds. As a result, we achieved successful creation of effective compounds for practical application in each of the above-mentioned areas.
