Chen, Yueting; Weng, Yuanyuan; Zhou, Min; Meng, Yiyu; Liu, Jialu; Yang, Lin; Zuo, Zhaojiang published the artcile< Linalool- and α-terpineol-induced programmed cell death in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii>, SDS of cas: 78-70-6, the main research area is Chlamydomonas programmed cell death linalool alpha terpineol algaecide; Algaecide; Chlamydomonas reinhardtii; Linalool; Programmed cell death; α-Terpineol.
Plant allelochems. effectively inhibit and/ or control algal growth, and have potential to use as algaecide. To uncover the lethal mechanism of 2 anti-algal compounds linalool and α-terpineol identified from Cinnamomum camphora extracts, and promote their development as algaecide, the H2O2 production, photosynthetic abilities, H2O2 content burst in linalool treatment at 0.5 h and in α-terpineol treatment at 1 h, with increases of 2.7 folds and 1.3 folds, resp., compared to that at 0 h. The photosynthetic pigments gradually degraded, and Fv/Fm gradually declined to zero, indicating that the cell death was not a necrosis due to the gradual disappearance of physiol. process. In C. reinhardtii cells, the caspase-9-like and caspase-3-like were activated in the treatments with the 2 compounds for 1 h. With prolonging the treatment time, the fluorescent intensity of the cell nucleuses stained by DAPI gradually enhanced and then faded, and the genomic DNA isolated from the cells gradually degraded. These hallmarks indicated that the death of C. reinhardtii cells in linalool and α-terpineol treatments was a (PCD) triggered by the increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). Compared to α-terpineol treatment, linalool treatment showed stronger promoting effects on PCD at the same time point, which may be caused by the higher ROS content inducing higher caspase-9-like and caspase-3-like activities in a short time.
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety published new progress about Algicides. 78-70-6 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C10H18O, SDS of cas: 78-70-6.
