Application

Fusicoccin (Fusicoccin A), a diterpene glucoside phytotoxin, is used to study 14-3-3-dependent processes such as the activation of H+-ATPase in plants and other client proteins with mode III binding motifs. Fusicoccin is an inducer of a catalase inhibitor that leads to oxidative damage in plants.

Other Notes
