What is Aspterric acid?

Description

Aspterric acid is a carotene-type sesquiterpene, plant growth regulator, and inhibitor of pollen development originally isolated from the fungus A. terreus. It inhibits pollen development, reduces stem length at first flowering, and increases the time to bolting and first flowering in A. thaliana when used at a concentration of 38 μM. Aspterric acid exerts its effects on reproductive growth in A. thaliana without inhibiting biosynthesis and transport of the plant growth regulator indole-3-acetic acid .
