Neovasinin
Application Notes
Neovasinin is an α-pyrone isolated from Neocosmospora vasinfecta E.F. Smith by Nakajima and colleagues, Tottori University Japan in 1987. Neovasinin accelerates root elongation and inhibits hypocotyl growth of lettuce seedlings. In contrast, the closely related neovasinone inhibits both root and hypocotyl growth.
