4 chloro opda

4-Chloro-OPDA is a halogenated derivative of OPDA which is an important compound in the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid in plants. Like other OPDA derivatives, 4-chloro-OPDA is involved in plant stress responses, particularly in defense mechanisms against biotic stress, such as herbivory and pathogen attack.

The compound is studied primarily in plant biology for its role in the jasmonate signaling pathway. This pathway is critical for regulating defense responses, including the activation of defense-related genes and the production of secondary metabolites that protect the plant from herbivores and pathogens. Chlorination of OPDA, as seen in 4-chloro-OPDA, could potentially affect its biological activity or alter how it interacts with receptors and enzymes in plants.
