Abstract

R-(+)-2-(2-naphthoxy)propionic acid [(+)-NOP], but not (−)-NOP, was active in inducing calli from peel tissues of cucumber fruits. The callus-inducing activity of (+)-NOP was comparable to that of 1-naphthylacetic acid. Activities of alcohol dehydrogenase and lipoxygenase increased during callus induction.
