Application Notes

Ferulic acid is a ubiquitous and fundamental metabolite in the plant kingdom and forms the building blocks of lignocelluloses. cis-Ferulic acid is the minor isomer of trans-ferulic acid formed by exposure to light and temperature. cis-Ferulic acid, but not trans-ferulic acid, acts as a plant growth stimulator in wheat coleoptiles. The concentration of cis-ferulic acid increases during germination of corn seeds, whereas the concentration of trans-ferulic acid decreases. Exogenous ferulic acid improves growth and phenolic and carotenoid content in tomatoes.
