Abstract
Amidenin, a new plant growth-regulating substance, was isolated from t he fermentation broth of an Amycolatopsis sp. The active principle was extracted with ethyl acetate and purified by silica gel column chroma tography. The molecular formula of this substance was established as C 10H17NO, and the structure was determined to be 2E,4Z-decadienamide by spectroscopic analyses. This substance showed growth-promoting activi ty with a 0.6 x 10(-5)-1.8 x 10(-5) M treatment to rice seedlings, and inhibitory activity with a 6.0 x 10(-5) M treatment.
