Abstract. A crystalline germination stimulant (trivial name strigol) for the root parasite, witchweed (Striga lutea Lour.), has been isolated from cotton root exudates and characterized as a C19H22O6 compound. Although apparently different from known plant hormones, the stimulant is active at hormonal levels, causing germination at concentrations less than 10-5 part per million.
