Syntheses of Jasmonic Acid Related Compounds and Their Structure-Activity Relationships on the Growth of Rice Seedings

Abstract

Jasmonic acid (JA)-related compounds were synthesized, and their inhibitory activities on rice seedling growth were investigated. Three functions (C-l CH2COOH or CH2COOCH3, C-2 (Z)-2’-pentenyl or n-pentyl and C-3 ketone or hydroxyl) were essential for exhibiting inhibitory activity in this series of compounds. A dihydro-JA-related compound, 4-acetylnonanoic acid, also showed inhibitory activity similar to JA. © 1980, Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry. All rights reserved.
