| Abstract: | From leaves of Chrysanthemum morifolium two stimulants for root initiation in mung bean cuttings have been isolated and identified as chrysartemins A and B (I and II). These substances showed synergistic activity on rooting with indoleacetic acid and were proved to be constituents of the “cofactor 4” designated by Hess. |
