The metabolic pathways of clofenuron in these three plants are similar. In this way, the 3- or 4- position of phenyl group may be hydroxylated first, and then the phenolic hydroxyl group will be combined with glycosyl group. It can be considered that the residue in the metabolic process of clofenuron is the parent compound, namely clofenuron itself.
The swelling agent can promote and accelerate the growth of plants, commonly known as "fruit swelling dragon" or "swelling element", and its chemical name is cytokinin, which belongs to plant hormone chemicals. The common swelling agent is clofenuron, commonly known as Clopidogrel in English and abbreviated as CPPU in English, which belongs to phenylurea substances and mainly stimulates cytokinin.
Social concern:
Summer is here, and it is the season when melons and fruits are on the market. However, in May of 20 1 1, the news that dozens of acres of watermelons planted by a melon farmer in a town in Jiangyan exploded inexplicably came out, which once again pushed watermelons to the forefront. Sodium cyclamate and ripening agent have never faded out of people's sight, but now "explosive" watermelon is exposed because of excessive use of "swelling agent"
Watermelon cracking has aroused concern, and people are worried that watermelon will explode when using swelling agent, whether there is a risk of abusing plant hormones, and whether fruits ripened with hormones will be harmful to human body. Wang Liangju believes that the expansion agent is safe as long as it is within the normal dose range.
