Abstract: | Three 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives (ethyl 2-[(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-3-oxobutanoate (SS-14), ethyl 2-[(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)(3-nitrophenyl)methyl]-3-oxobutanoate (SS-21), and 2-[(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)methyl]-3-oxobutanoate (T-2)] were tested for growth-regulating activity on nitrogen-fixing soybean plants in different concentrations: 10−5, 10−4, and 10−3 M. They revealed growth-regulating activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The most powerful suppression effect of T-2 on shoot and root fresh and dry biomass accumulation, length of roots, and height of plants was found. Shoot fresh biomass was suppressed in an equal extent at 10−3 M of the three compounds but the order of inhibition regarding the three applied concentrations was T2 > SS-14 ≈ SS-21. The compound SS-14 inhibited nodule number and nodule biomass mainly at the highest applied concentration, 10−3 M. The highest inhibition of nitrogenase activity was established at the three applied concentrations of the compound SS-14. |
