Abstract
Nagilactone E, a norditerpene dilactone isolated from a gymnosperm, Podocarpus nagi (Podocarpaceae), was able to stimulate the growth of cultured cells of Lactuca sativa cv. Grand Rapids at 0.1 μg ml-1 but not at 0.01 or 1 μg ml-1. Cell wet weight/unit time and cell number/unit wet weight were increased when they were recorded at the end of the 14-day incubation period. Also, the population of cells treated with that concentration of nagilactone E had a higher percentage of cells with shorter cell length compared to the control (untreated).
