A root growth-promoting factor, capillarol, from Artemisia capillaris thunb.

Abstract
A root growth-promoting factor was isolated from Artemisia capillaris Thunb. The chemical structure of this compound was elucidated as methyl 3-(3-methylbut-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycinnamate (capillarol) on the basis of its spectroscopic analysis. At 5×10-4M this compound promoted rice root growth to 180% of the control value.
