| Abstract: | Fumaric, palmitic, oleic and abscisic acids and methyl and ethyl hydrogen succinates were isolated from seedlings of dwarf pea (Pisum sativum L., var. Progress No. 9), grown under red light, as growth inhibitors which interfered with the responses of these plants to GA3. Of the six compounds, fumaric acid did not show any inhibitory effect on stem elongation in the absence of GA3. |
