Introduction
Description: Acetosyringone is a naturally occurring compound secreted from wounded dicot plant tissues and is a chemotractant for Agrobacterium sp.. It is generally used at 5uM to 200uM to enhance transformation in monocots, 3',5'-Dimethyoxy-4'-hydroxyacetophenone Acetosyringone should NOT be autoclaved.
