The green algal pigment caulerpin as a plant growth regulator

Caulerpin, a green algal pigment possessing a unique bis-indole structure, has been shown to be a plant growth regulator. Root growth assays were conducted with caulerpin and its hydrolysis product, and the results were compared with data obtained with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-pyruvic ac...

Zusammenfassung:	Caulerpin, a green algal pigment possessing a unique bis-indole structure, has been shown to be a plant growth regulator. Root growth assays were conducted with caulerpin and its hydrolysis product, and the results were compared with data obtained with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) and indole-3-acrylic acid (IAcA). This study has indicated that caulerpin, in essence a dimer of indole-3-acrylic acid, behaves much like the indole auxins.
