Abstract
The treatment of young guayule plants with 2-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-triethylamine stimulated the accumulation of polyisoprenoid rubber in the stem and root tissues. This finding suggests that rubber productivity can be improved by the use of chemical agents on guayule and other rubber-forming plants.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
