Abstract
5-Thio-d-glucose showed strong growth-inhibitory activity in the roots of the following plants: Brassica campestris L. subsp. rapa Hook. fil. et Anders, Sesamum indicum L., Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia Lam, Abelmoschus esculentus Moench, Glycine max Merrill, Echinochloa utilis Ohwi et Yabuno, and Allium tuberosum Rottler. The compound strongly inhibited the growth of the roots of E. utilis and A. tuberosum even at the low concentration of 5.0 x 10 −5 m. The radicles of plants treated with 5-thio-d-glucose showed negative geotropism. The 5-thio-d-glucose-induced inhibition in B. campestris was reversed by addition of d-glucose.
