Abstract

Abstract Seventeen new bioregulators were synthesized and tested for their ability to induce the biosynthesis of poly-cis carotenes in the flavedo of Marsh white seedless grapefruit. The effects of these new bioregulators are the same as that of the previously reported dibenzylamines, but several of the new compounds are more effective and cause the accumulation of up to 162 μg/g dry wt of poly-cis carotenes in the flavedo as compared to ...
