title: The action of plant growth retardants on terpenoid biosynthesis : Inhibition of gibberellic-acid production inFusarium moniliforme by CCC and AMO-1618; Action of these retardants on sterol biosynthesis.
abstract: The plant growth retardants (2-chloroethyl)-trimethylammonium chloride (CCC) and 2'-isopropyl-4'-(trimethylammoniumchloride)-5'-methylphenyl-piperidine-1-carboxylate (AMO-1618) inhibit gibberellic-acid biosynthesis inFusarium moniliforme at the cyclisation of geranylgeraniol to (-)-kaurene, causing an accumulation of geranylgeraniol. The two inhibitors have no effect on the biosynthesis of ergosterol inF. moniliforme or sitosterol in barley seedlings.
