A plant growth retardant related to chlamydocin and its proposed mechanism of action

A comparison of the plant growth retardant activity of the chlamydocin analogues, compound 1, six derivatives from 1 and 2, and two synthetic analogues revealed that there are two types of retardant in chlamydocin analogues. One, for example in compound 1, requires an oxygen atom at C-8 of the 2-aminodecanoic acid moiety to show retardant activity. The other, for example in compound 8, requires no oxygen atom at C-8 but requires a specific alkyl group chain length for activity. To determine the differences in mode of action of both types of retardant, rice seedlings were separately treated with compounds 1 and 8, and after appearance of dwarfism, their endogenous ABA and GA1 levels were determined and compared to those of the control. Treatment with 1 (10 nmol/plant) increased ABA levels 4 times higher than that of the control and decreased GA1 levels to 20% of that of the control. Treatment with 8 (30 nmol/plant) did not affect the ABA level but decreased GA1 content to 5% of that of the control.
