ascr

Ascr#8 is a dauer-inducing ascaroside isolated from Caenorhabditis elegans. It synergizes with ascr#2 and ascr#3, and strongly enhances male attraction.

Ascr#7, an ascaroside-based hormonal compound, plays a significant role in nematode physiology. It is specifically expressed throughout the various stages of nematode development. Notably, ascarosides exhibit the capability to initiate the formation of dauer larvae, which are characterized by their long lifespan and exceptional stress resistance.

Ascr#18 is an ascaroside hormone that is expressed throughout nematode development. It exhibits the ability to enhance resistance against a range of infections, including viral, bacterial, oomycete, fungal, and nematode, in Arabidopsis, tomato, potato, and barley[1].

Ascr#3, an ascaroside isolated from Caenorhabditis elegans, acts as a potent male attractant, and also promotes dauer formation combined with ascr#2 at low concentration.

Ascr#2 (asc-C6-MK) is a glycoside analogue in Cryptococcus hidradii that promotes dauer formation.Ascr#2 mixtures with ascr#3 at low concentrations act as a male elicitor and can be used to detect population density.Ascr#5 (asc-ωC3) is a highly conserved ascaroside analogue in Cryptococcus hidradii that regulates a variety of responses in Cryptococcus hidradii.

Ascr#5 (asc-ωC3) is a highly conserved ascoside analogue in Cryptococcus hidradii that modulates a variety of responses in Cryptococcus hidradii.
