Abstract: | Brassinolide, a new plant growth-promoting steroid lactone,and its synthetic analog, homobrassinolide, showed strong activityin stimulating the lamina inclination of rice plants at verylow concentrations of 0.0005 and 0.005 µg/ml, respectively,whereas IAA showed only a weak effect on the lamina inclinationat 50 µg/ml. Thus, the lamina inclination test is usefulas a highly sensitive bioassay for brassinolide and relatedcompounds. (Received November 26, 1980; Accepted December 22, 1980) |
