A compound of formula (I): wherein: R1 is —SR10, —O—C(O)—R11, —NR12R13, where R10 is a C1-8-alkyl group or a phenyl group unsubstituted or substituted by a C1-4-alkyl group, R11 is a thiophenenyl, furanyl or pyrrolyl group, R12 is H or a C1-4-alkyl group and R13 is a C1-8-alkyl group or a phenyl group unsubstituted or substituted by a C1-4-alkyl group;R2 is H or a C1-4-alkyl group;R3 and R4 are independently H or C1-4-alkyl groups;R5 and R6 are independently H, OH or OR14, or taken together are ═O, where R14 is a protecting group;R7 is H or a C1-4-alkyl group; and,R8 is H, R9 is OH and R15 is H, or R15 is H and R8 and R9 taken together are —O—, or R9 is OH and R8 and R15 taken together form a bond; and,R18 and R19 are both H, or R18 and R19 taken together form a bond, or a plant physiologically acceptable salt thereof is useful for inhibiting 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) in a plant or seed and is therefore useful for regulating ABA biosynthesis in the plant or seed.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a carotenoid-derived plant hormone known to regulate critical functions in growth, development and responses to environmental stress. The key enzyme which carries out the first committed step in ABA biosynthesis is the carotenoid cl
