title: Stigmasteryl-β-D-glucoside as an auxin synergist.
abstract: The presence of an auxin synergist was confirmed in the neutral fraction of extracts from peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea L.). The main component resposible for the activity was established as stigmasteryl-β-D-glucoside. It promoted markedly the elongation of Avena coleoptile segments induced by indoleacetic acid (IAA), but was only weakly active in the absence of IAA.
