Claims9
A symbiosis-promoting agent comprising a cinnamic acid compound represented by the following formula:
- (where R1, R2, and R3 may be the same or different and R1, R2, and R3 are each independently a hydroxyl group (OH group), a hydrogen atom (H), an alkoxy group (OX), or a prenyl group (X is an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms)).
A symbiosis-promoting method, comprising allowing a cinnamic acid compound represented by the following formula to act on plant roots:
- (where R1, R2, and R3 may be the same or different and R1, R2, and R3 are each independently a hydroxyl group (OH group), a hydrogen atom (H), an alkoxy group (OX), or a prenyl group (X is an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms)).
A plant production method, comprising allowing a cinnamic acid compound represented by the following formula to act on plant roots:
- (where R1, R2, and R3 may be the same or different and R1, R2, and R3 are each independently a hydroxyl group (OH group), a hydrogen atom (H), an alkoxy group (OX), or a prenyl group (X is an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms)).
