Abstract :
We wish to report the structure of strigol (la), a novel, highly potent seed germination stimulant isolated from the root exudates of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).2 In the absence of exogenous stimulant the seeds of the parasite witchweed (Striga lutea Lour.)do not germinate, but application of 10-11 M solutions of strigol results in over 50% germination. |
