Abstract
Abstract Mono- and bis 3-(hydroxypropanoyl) esters of long chain, unsaturated diols have been isolated and identified from two genera of the family Bruchidae, and have been shown to be responsible for the mitogenic activity observed on pea pods resulting from oviposition by the pea weevil, Bruchus pisorum . The mitogenic compounds have been characterized and synthesized.
