Abstract

Using computer calculation of descriptors of the electronic structure of molecules of acetone and phytohormones—ethylene, indoleacetic acid (IAA), benzylaminopurine (BAP), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), abscisic acid (ABA), and gibberellic acid (GA)—the similarity of the activity of acetone with that of a number of phytohormones was found. The results of computer simulation were tested in biological experiments. The acetone bioactivity in vitro is also manifested in the possibility of dissolution of the cell walls and release of endogenous phytohormones in the formation of CO2, which activates photosynthesis. An assumption is made about the integrated action of these mechanisms.
