Coronatine, as a new type of plant growth regulator, has a variety of important physiological functions and application values. The following are the main functions of Coronatine:
1.
Enhancing crop stress resistance: Coronatine can regulate the growth functions of plants, induce the production of resistance factors in plants, and improve the resistance of plants. It can function at extremely low concentrations, reducing the damage that crops suffer in adverse environments such as low temperatures, high temperatures, salinity and alkalinity, and drought.
2.
Improving the quality of agricultural products: Coronatine activates the biosynthesis pathways of anthocyanins, anthocyanins, etc. in crops by inducing plant gene expression, thereby increasing the accumulation of high-level anthocyanins in the peel and flesh of the fruit. Meanwhile, by enhancing the photosynthetic rate of crops and increasing the accumulation of substances such as proteins, amino acids and sugars within plants, the quality and yield of crops can be improved.
3.
Defoliation and weeding: Coronatine can be used as a defoliant at high concentrations and is suitable for crops such as cotton and chili peppers. In addition, at higher concentrations, coronavirin also has a broad-spectrum herbicidal function.
4.
Promoting seed germination: Coronatine can increase the germination rate of soybeans in low-temperature environments, and the germination will be more uniform and vigorous. After cotton seeds are soaked in corcotin, the vitality of the seeds under salt stress can be enhanced, promoting germination, emergence and seedling growth.
5.
Enhancing the photosynthetic rate of crops: When used during the germination period of crops, Coronatine can increase the accumulation of substances such as proline in new buds, thereby enhancing the crops’ resistance to low temperatures. When used during the fruit color change period, it can increase the photosynthetic rate of crops and enhance the accumulation of substances such as proteins, amino acids, sugars and pigments within plants.
In conclusion, Coronatine plays a significant role in agricultural production, helping farmers increase crop yields and quality while enhancing the stress resistance of crops.
