Abstract.
2-Aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP) retarded the growth of duckweed, Spirodela punctata, and increased its dry mass. The accumulation of starch was observed at all concentrations of AIP at 8 days after treatment. The increase in starch was inversely proportional to the growth. The retarded growth of Spirodela by AIP was not limited only by excessive starch accumulation.
