Abstract
Besides being applied in agriculture and horticulture, the new types of plant growth retardants from norbornanodiazetine, triazole, pyrimidine, 4-pyridine and imidazole structure are increasingly used in physiological research. As inhibitors of special cytochrome P-450 dependent monooxygenases they allow valuable insights in the regulation of terpenoid metabolism concerning phytohormones and sterols, thus showing relations to cell division, cell elongation and senescence.
