127277-53-6CCC([O-])=C1C(=O)CC(C(=O)O)CC1=O.CCC([O-])=C1C(=O)CC(C(=O)O)CC1=O.[Ca+2]FVMOEFABYNPCDS-UHFFFAOYSA-LProhexadione-calcium is a plant growth regulator that inhibits gibberellin metabolism. It is frequently used as a growth-retardant compound for apples. Prohexidione-calcium is known to reduce terminal growth by inhibiting 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, which are involved in the formation of growth-specific gibberellins (e.g., the conversion of GA20 to GA1), a group of plant hormones that are primarily responsible for regulation of shoot elongation in apple trees. In addition, it is also known that prohexadione-calcium interferes with ethylene biosynthesis and flavonoid metabolism, which can influence other responses in the plant.

DescriptionProhexadione-Calcium (Pro-Ca, prohexadione-Ca or BX-112) is a plant growth retardant which is used to inhibit gibberellin biosynthesis of plants. It generally reduces shoot elongation in plants.
UsesProhexadione Calcium is a plant growth regulator.
UsesProhexadione calcium is plant growth regulator.
DefinitionChEBI: Prohexadione-calcium is a calcium salt containing equal numbers of prohexadione(2-) and Ca(2+) ions. A plant growth regulator, it is used as an anti-lodging agent in small-grain cereals. It has a role as a plant growth regulator, an agrochemical and a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor. It contains a prohexadione(2-).
