“…Plants may adopt high temperature stress through natural mechanisms, however, different biochemical compounds called plant growth regulators (PGRs), upregulate antioxidant defense systems to improve crop resilience under high temperature stress 31 . An array of synthetic compounds is known for their growth-regulatory properties, while thiourea (TU) is a biological molecule that has an important role in resilient crop production and works as a source of nitrogen nutrition 32 . Thiourea, a substance that controls plant growth, is a powerful hydroxyl compound that detoxifies the ROS that guards’ plants against the oxidative damage that high temperature stress can cause while also regulating the cascades of plant phenological attributes 33 , 34 .…”

High temperature stress influences plant growth, seed yield, and fatty acid contents by causing oxidative damage. This study investigated the potential of thiourea (TU) to mitigate oxidative stress and restoring seed oil content and quality in canola. The study thoroughly examined three main factors: (i) growth conditions—control and high temperature stress (35 °C); (ii) TU supplementation (1000 mg/L)—including variations like having no TU, water application at the seedling stage, TU application at seedling stage (BBCH Scale-39), water spray at anthesis stage, and TU application at anthesis stage (BBCH Scale-60); (iii) and two canola genotypes, 45S42 and Hiola-401, were studied separately. High temperature stress reduced growth and tissue water content, as plant height and relative water contents were decreased by 26 and 36% in 45S42 and 27 and 42% Hiola-401, respectively, resulting in a substantial decrease in seed yield per plant by 36 and 38% in 45S42 and Hiola-401. Seed oil content and quality parameters were also negatively affected by high temperature stress as seed oil content was reduced by 32 and 35% in 45S42 and Hiola-401. High-temperature stress increased the plant stress indicators like malondialdehyde, H2O2 content, and electrolyte leakage; these indicators were increased in both canola genotypes as compared to control. Interestingly, TU supplementation restored plant performance, enhancing height, relative water content, foliar chlorophyll (SPAD value), and seed yield per plant by 21, 15, 30, and 28% in 45S42; 19, 13, 26, and 21% in Hiola-401, respectively, under high temperature stress as compared to control. In addition, seed quality, seed oil content, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid were improved by 16, 14, and 22% in 45S42, and 16, 11, and 23% in Hiola-401, as compared to control. The most significant improvements in canola seed yield per plant were observed when TU was applied at the anthesis stage. Additionally, the research highlighted that canola genotype 45S42 responded better to TU applications and exhibited greater resilience against high temperature stress compared to genotype Hiola-401. This interesting study revealed that TU supplementation, particularly at the anthesis stage, improved high temperature stress tolerance, seed oil content, and fatty acid profile in two canola genotypes.

The chemical reaction of 4-bromobenzoylchloride and 2-aminothiazole in the presence of potassium thiocyanate yielded a white solid formulated as C15H10BrN3OS2, which consists of 4-bromobenzamido and 2-benzothiazolyl moieties connected by a thiourea group. The 4-bromobenzamido and 2-benzothiazolyl moieties are in a trans conformtion (sometimes also called s-trans due to the single bond) with respect to the N—C bond. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 4-bromophenyl and the 2-benzothiazolyl units is 10.45 (11)°. The thiourea moiety, —C—NH—C(=S) —NH— fragment forms a dihedral angle of 8.64 (12)° with the 4-bromophenyl ring and is almost coplanar with the 2-benzothiazolyl moiety, with a dihedral angle of 1.94 (11)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of an S(6) ring. In the crystal, pairs of adjacent molecules interact via intermolecular hydrogen bonds of type C—H...N, C—H...S and N—H...S, resulting in molecular layers parallel to the ac plane.
