General description

Ancymidol, a-cyclopropyl-a-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-pyrimidinemethanol (EL-53 1), a plant growth retardant is a synthetic pyrimidine analogue. It is also a weak fungitoxic.

Application

Ancymidol has been used as the cytochrome P450 inhibitor to study its effects on Cyanidioschyzon merolae strain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ancymidol is a pyrimidine-class plant cell endocrine disruptor plant growth regulator that interferes with gibberellin and cellulose biosynthesis.
Ancymidol acts as a monooxygenase inhibitor. It is capable of interrupting gibberellin biosynthesis and growth in plants.

Ancymidol, a plant growth regulator, inhibited biosynthesis of diacetoxyscirpenol by Gibberella pulicaris (Fusarium sambucinum) in a defined liquid medium. Ancymidol also inhibited biosynthesis of T-2 toxin by a wild-type strain of Fusarium sporotrichioides and biosynthesis of diacetoxyscirpenol, deacetylated calonectrin, and

In the search for time- and tissue-specific promoters an RNA fingerprinting technique called cDNA-AFLP was used. A transcript derived fragment (TDF511) was isolated which showed high similarity to alcohol dehydrogenases. The gene corresponding to this TDF, named Stgan, is likely
