Several strigol analogues with modifications in the D-ring were
synthesized and assayed for
germination stimulatory activity of seeds of Striga
hermonthica and Orobanche
crenata. All
of these
D-ring analogues are derived from N-phthaloylglycine as the
common ABC-fragment. It was
concluded that the correct structure of the 2(5H)-furanone
D-ring is essential to retain full biological
activity.
Keywords: Striga; Orobanche; germination; strigol analogue
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
