Abstract
Yellow prisms of asparagusic acid, with a molecular formula of C4H6O2S2 were isolated from etiolated asparagus tissues (Asparagus officinalis L.). This acid inhibits growth in lettuce and other seedlings when applied in concentrations of 6.67×10−7m to 6.67×l0−7m. The extent of activity was very similar to that of abscisic acid.Keywords
