1,4-Dimethylnaphthalene

1,4-Dimethylnaphthalen is a non-competitive potato tuber sprouting inhibitor. 1,4-Dimethylnaphthalen blocks cell cycle progression (G1/S arrest) by inducing PP2A phosphatase and oxygen metabolism-related genes. 1,4-Dimethylnaphthalen is promising for research of fungistatic activity during potato storage and sprout control under abiotic stress[1][2].
