    Product Description

    Ancymidol is a plant growth regulator.1 It inhibits oxidation of the gibberellin biosynthetic intermediates ent-kaur-16-ene, ent-kaur-16-en-19-ol, and ent-kaur-16-en-19-al, but not ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid, in immature M. macrocarpus seed endosperm preparations.2 Ancymidol slows shoot and root elongation of Phaseolus vulgaris when used at concentrations ranging from 0.316 to 316 µg/ml.1 Formulations containing ancymidol have been used as plant growth regulators in aquatic areas.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
