Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The heterocyclic amino acid, β-(6-bromopyridin-3-yl)alanine [DL-a-amino-β-(6-bromopyridin-3-yl)propanoic acid], interferes with the morphological development of the cruciferArabidopsis thaliana when incorporated in the growth medium. It appears to overcome the normal apical dominance control mechanism within the seedling, producing multirather than single-stemmed plants.
